The Cities

The dystopian setting feels so immersive, but I wonder if the focus on world details ever overshadowed character arcs or vice versa.

The chemistry was intense, but the dangerous environment made me uneasy about whether their bond could survive. What did others think about the romance’s role here?

The setting feels so visceral and layered — I’m curious if real-world histories or events influenced the author’s vision of this dystopia.
