The book seamlessly weaves deep philosophical debates into a fantastical setting. I wonder what inspired her to combine these genres so fluidly.

The narrative dives into complex ideas that sometimes felt dense. Was that intentional to emphasize the themes, or did it affect the story's flow for others?

The world-building is so detailed — I’m curious whether Palmer envisioned all the societal details from the start or developed them as she wrote.
