Девять совсем незнакомых людей

I wonder if the author drew from real experiences or crafted it purely from imagination. How does the retreat environment influence the characters' transformations?

The slow reveal kept me hooked, but I kept wondering what would come to light next. Did the pacing make the suspense more impactful?

Multiple viewpoints gave a layered view of the group, but I’m curious whether focusing on one would have deepened the emotional impact.
