Tick Tock

The seamless blend of genres kept me hooked, but I'm curious whether the author planned this balance from the start or let it evolve naturally.

While the story picked up again later, that slow patch made me wonder if it was intentional to build suspense or just a natural part of the story arc.

The modern backdrop felt very real, but I was left wondering how much of their behavior was shaped by current events versus personal motives.
