The City

The setting feels almost like a character itself, full of tension and despair. I'm curious if the author drew from real-world urban fears or crafted it purely from imagination.

The characters' decisions often felt like a reflection of the harsh environment, but I wondered how much of that was intentional to challenge reader sympathies.

The story moves quickly, but there were moments where I wished for more reflection. Was this a deliberate choice to keep readers on edge?
