Złote miasto

The city feels like a character itself—beautiful yet oppressive. I'm curious whether the author envisioned it as a reflection of real-world urban centers or something more symbolic.

The story’s tension often came from the power struggles and secret alliances. I wonder if the fantasy aspects were meant to serve as a backdrop or if they hold a deeper symbolic meaning.

There were moments of intense pacing followed by contemplative passages. I'm curious whether this was a conscious choice to keep readers engaged on multiple levels.
