Le Roi des cendres

Feist's universe feels so immersive and layered — I wonder how much of it was planned from the start versus developed as the story evolved.

The story dives deep into alliances and betrayals, which kept me hooked even during quieter moments. How did others feel about the balance between diplomacy and action?

There were some lengthy scenes of political scheming that slowed down the momentum for me. Do you think this was to build tension or could it have been tighter?
