L'orgueil des Lyon

The story seamlessly weaves different genres, and I'm curious about how the author decided on this mix and kept it consistent throughout.

The relationships felt very natural but also intense at times. I'm wondering whether the romance was a central focus or more of a backdrop to the adventure.

The universe feels so rich and detailed—I'm curious if Anne McCaffrey had a clear map in mind from the start or if it developed during writing.
