The Emerald Sea

The setting feels richly detailed and immersive, making me wonder whether historical research influenced the world-building or if it was more of a creative choice to serve the story.

There were moments where I loved the connection between characters, but some choices made me uneasy — did others feel the same about their moral dilemmas?

The sea's role felt so poetic and central to the story's themes of change and discovery. I'm curious if this was inspired by any particular myth or personal experience.
