Taken in the Cold

The bleak, icy backdrop really heightened the suspense, but I'm curious whether the author visualized this from the start or it developed during writing.

The choices felt nuanced and made me question what I would do in their place. How did the author approach creating these morally gray areas?

There were moments where the story slowed down a bit, but it seemed intentional to build suspense. Was this a conscious decision or just natural flow?
