Les Souvenirs de la glace

With so many characters and perspectives, I wondered what the process was like for weaving their stories together seamlessly. Did this structure come easily or evolve during writing?

The book's depiction of war is so visceral that it made me reflect on the real costs of conflict. How did the author approach portraying such intense sacrifice without overwhelming the reader?

The lore felt so rich and layered — I’m curious whether it was planned from the start or if it grew organically as the story developed.
