Par pure provocation

Their fiery banter really drew me in, but I wonder if the author planned this chemistry from the start or it evolved during writing. What inspired the dynamic between them?

Their decisions often felt realistic but also heartbreaking. I kept wondering if I would have reacted differently in their situations—was that intentional?

The historical details felt so immersive and authentic. I'm curious whether the author drew from personal research or lived experiences to craft this world.
