To the Warm Horizon by Jin-Young Choi

4.0

The trope of finding family and trying to protect family in a post-apocalyptic world is a common trope but I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. The simply writing style could still convey deep melancholy and longing without being flashy so that made it a really nice and easy reading experience (despite dealing with obviously dire themes). 

This could be five stars but I’m taking one star off for how the story ended. It felt like it ended on a bit too good of a note. Especially, since about ¾ through the novel I expected the ending to be heartwrenchingly sad and painful. Perhaps, the author wants to convey a message of hope – in spite of the rest of the occurrences in the novel it did feel a bit too idealistic though.
