The Blue Zone

The atmosphere felt so immersive and tense—I'm curious whether the author drew from real places or crafted a completely fictional world. How did the setting influence the story's tone?

There were moments where I questioned whether the main character was truly a hero or just morally compromised. How did others interpret their actions throughout the story?

It kept me hooked, but I wonder if the author planned the pacing from the start or adjusted it during writing to build tension at key moments.
