I enjoyed the experience of the setting - it's rare to read a novel set in current North Korea. The story itself was both tense, sad, hopeful, and pushing the edges of convenience/coincidence maybe? I kept wanting more, and I didn't want to leave it, but I also kept looking to see how much more was left. I feel like maybe I needed less scope - or deeper character development.

The Last Exiles is a really heartbreaking story of what two people will do to reunite after one of them is accused of a crime and thrown in prison.
