Forged

The world Bowman created feels both oppressive and vivid. I wonder what real-world issues or ideas sparked this particular environment and how much of it was built to serve the story's themes.

The romance added a layer of vulnerability but also complicated the characters’ motivations. I’m curious if others thought it enhanced or detracted from the dystopian narrative.

The balance between exposition and intrigue kept me hooked. Wondering if this was planned from the beginning or evolved during the writing process.
