Set in the Joseon era of Korea, Reading the book is like watching a historical k-drama. The characters were very fun to read and the author has put in an intensive amount of research to tell this story. The story contains some romantic elements, but definitely focuses more on the politics and mystery solving. Overall I very much enjoyed A Crane Among Wolves.
