Unique read.
The whole family dynamic was interesting to say the least. I, like many other people, didn't quite appreciate the step-sibling romance. When Shin decided to act, I found it pretty disturbing. Also the fact that they decided to leave together and ignore her mother's wishes didn't sit well with me. Ren stood on business from the get go and I grew to care for him as the book went on. I wish they would've explored the connection more between Ji Ling and Ren but I can see if it wasn't meant to be brief for the sake of the plot.
I enjoyed the setting of this book. It starts off strong and has me hooked on the plot from the beginning. Even though it had different points of view, I was able to still follow along with all the characters. For the last quarter of the book was when I started to get lost and just wasn't quite sure as to what was happening. I thought I had too many events thrown my way and wasn't just how they came together for the plot. I still think it was a good read though.
