Le Péril de la reine

The depiction of court politics felt so layered and realistic, even in a sci-fi setting. I wonder if the author drew inspiration from historical monarchies or imagined it entirely anew.

The focus on duty and allegiance added a compelling tension, but I was curious if others sensed a deeper emotional undercurrent or if it was mostly about politics.

The world-building felt so rich and immersive. I'm curious whether the author planned this as part of a bigger saga or if it evolved from a single idea.
