It's bizarre but poetic in a sense, so I kept reading anyway. Definitely strange, I didn't even know it ended. That was how it ended? It was a book that mentioned plenty of characters, but it seemed to focus only on two, as if they were the only people in the world.

Untold Night and Day by Bae Suah is a book that seems to be a fever dream with just enough reoccurring patterns in it that keep you on the lookout for some form of logic that keeps the whole thing together. If I have to describe it in a single sentence, I’d say: This book is all the stories it could have been. Maybe, if you’ve read it, this makes sense to you. Also, maybe it doesn’t. But this is what I’ve taken from it. I’m giving it a ⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating, since this book is great if you like looking for hidden clues, reoccurring themes and parallels. However, I prefer stories that are a little less vague and I didn’t particularly considered the characters to be very likeable. If you prefer questions over answers and enjoy reading peculiar books, this is the one for you! 💭

I'm not entirely sure what I read... It was confusing, weird, just unlike anything else I've ever read. I don't know if it really was a real story, or if it was two ghost-like creatures playing with the readers mind. I don't know what was real and what not, as parts overlapped, intertwined but also juxtaposed. The heat is the only thing I'm sure about in this story. But even though it was confusing, I liked the writing style and the weirdness of it - though there surely are big question marks in my mind right now.
