This was such an interesting graphic novel! I really liked that there was a prelude to the story that detailed historical context and Korean mythology. I also really appreciated the annotations throughout the novel.
I love stories where characters meet as children and then come to find each other again later in life. Kai and Sura’s relationship was not the full focus of the story but it was nice to read about.
Thank you to NetGalley for making this available in exchange for an honest review!
