Кодекс Алеры. Кн. 5. Фурии принцепса

The intricate power struggles and military conflicts felt very real and layered. I'm curious whether this came from historical research or pure imagination.

The story has so many moving parts, and I sometimes lost track of who was aligned with whom. Was that intentional to reflect chaos, or should I re-read for clarity?

There are moments where the pacing shifts dramatically, and I wondered whether that was a conscious choice to build tension or a natural flow of the story.
