Boiling a Frog

The tone shifts between witty banter and tense moments, which kept me on my toes. I'm curious how the author approached blending these elements seamlessly.

The humor added a unique flavor, but at times I wondered if it diminished the stakes. What did others think about this tonal mix?

The sense of place really grounded the story, and I wondered if the author drew from personal experience or crafted it purely from imagination.
