Call of the Raven

The setting feels so immersive and authentic—I'm curious whether Wilbur Smith drew from personal experiences or extensive research to craft this world.

The story's tension is great, but some relationships seemed to change rapidly. Was that a deliberate choice to ramp up the drama?

The way the story intertwines personal and political struggles made me wonder if the characters’ choices were driven more by their personalities or the turbulent times they lived in.
