Venus in Copper

The setting feels so authentic, from the city streets to the political intrigue. I wonder what research or choices shaped this vivid backdrop.

The plot took some time to pick up again, but I appreciated the depth it added. I'm curious if that was intentional to develop characters or atmosphere.

The social hierarchy is so vividly depicted, and it made me think about how much of that still echoes today. Did others find it enlightening or uncomfortable?
