My favorite thing about this book was how every character felt so distinct and individual. This is impressive because there are so many characters. But they all have their own struggles and personalities. And I pretty much never had a hard time remembering who was who. In fact, this book was so fun to read because the writing style was so well done that the words just went straight into my head and I could see the events happening like a movie. And this aided in me becoming so incredibly attached to the characters. Like I was so invested and was so heartbroken when bad things happened to them. Of course Sunja was my favorite and she was really the biggest main character. I loved her so much and loved how hard working she was. I also think that her complicated relationship with Hansu was very complex and compelling. Her sense of pride and her need for help and money were always in conflict.
This book was almost perfect, but there was something that I didn't like.
But overall this book was amazing and I loved getting to learn more about Asian history and culture. I also feel like I could read this book every year for the rest of my life, and different things and characters and stories and themes would stand out to me every time I read it.
Read from the Provo library.
