Het spel van de leeuw

The villain's obsession felt both terrifying and compelling. I'm curious whether his character was based on real-world threats or pure fiction.

The nonstop tension kept me on edge, but at times I wondered if it sacrificed some depth. Was this intensity intentional for the thriller vibe?

The back-and-forth felt almost like a game of chess. I'm interested in whether the structure was planned from the start or developed during writing.
