The Dangerous Days of Daniel X

The abilities felt really unique and creative, but I wondered whether there was a specific inspiration behind how they were described or limited throughout the story.

The alien world-building was interesting but left me curious about how much of it was planned out versus evolving during writing. Would love to hear others' thoughts!

The voice felt authentic and energetic, but I wonder if the choice to focus on a young protagonist was driven by a desire to connect with a specific audience or to highlight certain themes.
