Too Like the Lightning

The book intertwines complex ideas with compelling storytelling, which is quite unique. I wonder what inspired her to combine these elements so seamlessly.

Every detail about the society, politics, and culture seemed thought out. I'm curious whether Palmer created a lore bible or if it developed organically during writing.

The characters often face moral dilemmas that feel very real despite the futuristic setting. Did any particular moment make others reflect on their own values?
