Sign of the Maker

The detailed environment adds so much to the suspense. I'm curious whether the setting was inspired by real locations or entirely imagined.

The story felt very tight at the start and then had a slower middle section. I'm wondering if that was meant to build tension or just a natural part of the story flow.

The protagonist's complex sense of justice made me think about how real-world morality can be so layered. Would love to hear what led to that characterization.
