What the author stated about the story comming from the ideas and imaginations of their mind is true as there are some parts of the story and world building that are eyebrow-raising due to how it tethers or questions your knowledge of what is fact. But readers must remember that it is fiction and that the settings borrow from a time where information is tricky to acquire due to censorship and other factors. With that, we can enter the book as a fictional, dystopian-like, historical fiction where the author derives the situation from a real standpoint.

I love the approach that you did on how the story will be told. Simple yet effective on lushing the narrative forward. The names were a bit jarring and took time for me to get used to because I read this whenever I get freetime and would always gobackt o read the previous chapters to remind myself on previous contexts. The relationships that the characters have is on-point, especially with their conflict with others and themselves. Re-evaluating their character, their reason on either fighting for or against the tyrant, and even the conclusion is beautiful. And the Author Bio is just really setting it in on what the book is all about. A wake-up call for not just the characters in the novel but also to the readers who are either fighting or are complacent.
