Burdened Bonds

The tension was high, but sometimes the characters' distrust made their chemistry feel almost unbearable. Did that make the romance more real or just frustrating?

The intricate power dynamics added depth, but I wonder if the author mapped out the world all at once or let it evolve during writing.

Some chapters raced through intense action while others slowed down for character moments. I’m curious if the shift was planned or a natural result of plotting.
