Supernova

The novel weaves local mythology and philosophical ideas into a cosmic setting. I'm curious how much of this was driven by cultural influences versus storytelling motives.

The multiple timelines and perspectives added depth but also made it tricky to follow the plot's flow. Was this a deliberate choice to mirror the themes of fate?

The characters' choices feel deeply personal but also universal. I'm wondering if this reflects a broader cultural perspective or personal philosophy of the author.
