Fata morgana

The way the story kept me questioning what was real and what was a lie was so engaging. I wonder if that's what the author intended to heighten the mystery.

The Mediterranean backdrop felt almost like a character itself. I'm curious whether the author drew from personal experience or chose it for its symbolic significance.

The pacing of revelations kept me hooked, but I wonder if this was planned from the start or if it evolved during writing to maintain suspense.
