L’élue

Kushiel's Chosen features a character with deep internal conflicts and ambiguous morality. I'm curious what inspired this layered portrayal and how it influences the story.

The blend of high-stakes politics and steamy moments was striking. How do readers think this balance affects the overall tone of the book?

The setting feels richly detailed and immersive. I'm wondering if the author built this universe from real-world influences or if it evolved during writing.
