The Kid

The setting feels almost like a character itself, adding layers of tension. I'm curious whether the author based it on a real place or invented it to serve the story.

The story moves so quickly that I couldn't put it down, but I wonder if some readers might prefer a slower build. What do others think about the pacing choices?

The gradual reveal kept me hooked, but I'm curious how much planning went into the timing of those revelations. Did the author plan this structure from the start?
