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.

O livro é super fofo e cheio de cultura e magia! Simplesmente amei todo o lugar onde se passa e como a autora consegue transformar as palavras na minha cabeça em cenas e lugares indescritíveis de tão lindos. Tem pouquíssimas coisas que eu mudaria, mas só acontecem pelo livro ser bem rápido e curto: os personagens se apaixonam um pouco rápido, e tem muitos acontecimentos e conflitos que parecem durar uma página só. Tirando isso, me trouxe muita inspiração e eu amei demais os personagens! Adorei que tem alguns não héteros no meio de forma sutil, e toda a estética é de se deliciar. Ótimo!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I think that the message that the author wanted to convey was powerful and I really liked how the story ended and all the things we learnt. I really liked the world-building of this book and I was very immersed in it. I really enjoyed the experience!
