La fortezza dei cosmonauti

The mix of aliens, magic, and political drama creates a unique universe. I'm curious whether this fusion was deliberate from the start or evolved during writing.

The detailed diplomacy scenes added depth but sometimes made the story feel a bit slow. Was this a conscious choice to build tension or just how the plot unfolded?

The world-building feels so immersive and detailed. I'm wondering if the author drew from real-world cultures or created these from scratch and what influenced those choices.
