Il respiro della cenere

The moody backdrop in the story adds so much to the suspense. I wonder if the author drew from real locations or created it entirely from imagination.

The way mental states are portrayed felt very visceral and intense. It made me think about how trauma shapes our actions—what did others feel about this aspect?

The pacing felt deliberate, allowing tension to simmer. I'm curious if this was a conscious choice to enhance suspense or a product of the story's complexity.
