Het weerloze rijk

The story delves into how leaders sway public opinion and control narratives. I wonder if current events influenced these themes or if they emerged naturally from the story.

The detailed world-building and character development are great, but I found myself wishing for more momentum. Was that intentional to build tension or just a natural part of the story?

Some chapters are packed with combat, while others focus on moral questions. I'm curious whether this was planned to mirror the protagonist's internal struggles or evolved during writing.
