A fabulous YA fantasy book based in Korean mythology. I absolutely loved this and couldn't stop listening - totally addicting, charming, and emotional. I'd highly recommend the audiobook.

3.0

Honestly I feel like three stars is being generous but the book was entertaining enough so I'll leave it. However I found the plot drags and meanders, and it just felt incredibly unorganized. The characters were flat, and not to say they're unlikable, but there wasn't enough development for me to grow attached to any of them, and this includes all the relationships as well. The prose itself was pretty and flowery, but it also felt juvenile and repetitive. I think the book was too ambitious, and perhaps with a different editor it could have been better.
