The Oldest Dance

The setting feels so lived-in and unique, from the cultural rituals to the environment. I wonder what sparked the author's ideas for this world.

The story's tone really immersed me in the characters' struggles, but it also made me wonder if a lighter touch was possible. What was others' experience with the mood?

The title and theme suggest a deep connection between tradition and survival. I'm curious whether this element was based on real traditions or entirely fictional.
