Здесь и сейчас ( Поединок с судьбой)

The structure kept me guessing but also made me work harder as a reader. I'm curious whether this was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

The suspense added a layer of tension that made the characters' personal struggles even more impactful. Did that balance work for others?

The French backdrop felt almost like a character itself, adding depth to the narrative. I wonder how much the locale shaped the story's tone.
