The characters feel so layered and flawed — I wonder what inspired the author to make them all so morally ambiguous and human.

The story slowed down around the midpoint, but it seemed intentional to develop the characters — did others feel that way too?

The gritty, tense environment really immerses you in the world — I’m curious whether the author drew from real places or crafted it entirely from imagination.
