紅皇后

The way blood color defines social status is such a unique twist, but I wonder how much of it was planned versus developed during writing. It really adds depth to the class struggle.

Her choices seemed to oscillate between noble and selfish, which made her feel very real. Did anyone else feel conflicted about her motivations?

The romance felt intertwined with the larger conflict, but I’m curious whether that was a conscious choice to heighten stakes or just natural storytelling.
