Ruine

The detailed setting and lore really drew me in, but I wonder if the author based it on any real-world traditions or purely from imagination.

The betrayals and alliances kept me guessing, but at times I wondered if the story’s pace suffered from too many twists. Was that intentional?

J Gwynne juggles several perspectives, and I’d love to hear thoughts on how this impacts the overall tension and pacing of the story.
