Outback

The harsh landscape plays such a crucial role in the mood and plot. I wonder what inspired the choice of this remote setting and how it influenced the story's tone.

Some chapters felt slow but atmospheric, while others were fast-paced. I'm curious if that was intentional to mirror the outback's vastness or just my reading experience.

His inner struggles add depth, but I kept wondering how much of his backstory was planned versus developed during writing. Did anyone else find him compelling?
