Król bez skrupułów

The book has such a compelling mix of darkness and tenderness—I'm curious what her process was for weaving these elements together.

The protagonist's actions are so morally complex that I couldn't tell if I was supposed to sympathize or be uneasy—what's the line between villain and hero here?

The atmosphere felt so immersive and gritty—was this based on a real place or entirely fictional? I wonder how much research went into building this universe.
