i felt like i was actually in a historical korean drama for a moment, such an intriguing mystery and i was holding my breath as the main characters started knowing more and more about what exactly was going on! the romance part did feel a bit underdeveloped to me so i wished we had a few more chapters on their relationship :’)

Second time reading The Red Palace! Not as good as I remembered it to be but it's overall an excellent read. The romance was barely there and slow-burn and the entire book was clean.

i enjoyed so much of this book, it was easy to read and the plot kept me interested the entire time. i love the characters and the romance, it was cute ◡̈

the fact that it’s historical makes it better for me, i love when authors do extensive research for their books

Yet the ordinary, I realized, became like cherished treasure when taken



I would not love, unless I was loved first and loved the most.

I would be nothing at all, if I could not be first.


such a sweet book, asian folklore novels are really something!
