Cold People

The icy landscape adds a layer of isolation and desperation. I'm curious whether the author envisioned this from the start or if it developed during writing.

The way characters navigate their survival instincts made me reflect on human nature. Would I have made different choices in their situation?

The book made me feel both tense and empathetic — I wonder what led to the decision to focus so much on characters' inner worlds alongside the dystopian setting.
