煙の樹 (エクス・リブリス)

The novel delves into themes of deception and loyalty, but I wonder what led the author to focus on espionage as a core element of the narrative.

The story's slow build made the intense moments hit harder, but I’m curious if others felt the same or if it affected their engagement.

The shifting viewpoints added depth but also complexity. I wonder what the creative process was behind choosing this structure.
