Ceux qui ont disparu

The way the story portrays trauma and loss felt very real, but it also made me wonder how much the characters' pain influenced their decisions. How did others connect with their emotional journeys?

The setting feels rich and atmospheric, almost like a character itself. I'm curious whether the author based it on a real place or crafted it from imagination.

Some chapters took time to develop characters' backstories, which added depth but also slowed the momentum. Did others find this effective or did it disrupt the suspense?
