Костер в ночи

Mary Stewart masterfully creates a moody, suspenseful environment that feels almost like a character itself. I wonder what influenced her choice of setting and tone.

The relationship developments felt intertwined with the suspense, making me curious if Stewart intended to blur the lines between love and danger throughout the story.

The story unfolds at a steady pace, allowing the mystery to deepen without feeling rushed. I’m curious whether this pacing was deliberate to enhance the Gothic mood.
