Marquer les ombres 2

The way their fates intertwine adds so much tension, but I wonder if that was planned from the start or developed during writing.

The chemistry is undeniable, but I was surprised by how raw and emotional some scenes felt. Did others find it overwhelming or perfectly balanced?

The setting feels so layered and immersive. I'm curious whether the author created a detailed backstory beforehand or let the world develop naturally as writing progressed.
