Inversions

The alternating viewpoints added layers to the plot, but I wonder if that was planned from the start or developed during writing. What do you think was the goal behind this choice?

The cultural and political nuances felt deeply fleshed out, but sometimes I wondered if it slowed the pacing. Was this balance intentional or a happy accident?

The differences between the worlds felt very deliberate, sparking questions about real-world parallels. I'm curious whether these settings were inspired by specific cultures or entirely imagined.
