Кость бледная

The novel's tension and mood really drew me in, but I'm curious whether the setting and tone came from personal experiences or a particular vision.

The characters’ reactions felt very raw and authentic, but it also made me question how trauma shapes our choices long-term. How did others interpret that aspect?

I was hooked trying to piece together the clues, but I wonder if the pacing slowed down at times intentionally to build suspense or if it was just natural flow.
