Port of Shadows

The book's dark and intense mood really drew me in, and I wonder what inspired the author to craft such a gritty world and tone.

Their choices felt so morally gray that I kept questioning who the real villains were. Did others find themselves sympathizing with characters you'd expect to dislike?

There were some lengthy scenes that seemed to build the world more than advance the plot. I’m curious if that was intentional to deepen immersion.
