The Silent Dolls

The story balanced suspense with a slow-burning romance, but I wondered if the emotional stakes overshadowed the plot at times. How did others feel about this mix?

The eerie details really stuck with me, making the dolls feel almost like characters themselves. I’m curious whether this imagery was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

The story slowed down for a while, and I was wondering if that was intentional to build suspense or just a natural part of the narrative flow.
