Rounded up to four stars. More interested in the history that the book is based off of then the book itself unfortunately. None of the characters felt particularly fleshed out, but still was an enjoyable read. Goodreads give me a half star please.
If you love kdramas, you’ll love this. Mystery, suspense, a slow burn romance, character development, and a strong female lead. Loved it!
4.5 stars
I enjoyed this a lot, thought the pacing was great, the character dynamics were excellent especially between Eojin and Hyeon (a touch of romance but not too much which worked really well considering the morbidity of the situation that brought them together) and the writing worked really well - it felt so well suited to the era this book took place in.
The mystery aspect was done well - kept me on my toes and I really didn’t figure out who it was until it was revealed.
I think the only reason I’m knocking off half a star is because I thought the confrontation with the murderer would be a little more dramatic or something. Idk how to explain it, but something felt just a teensy bit underwhelming maybe…?
Overall, I definitely recommend.
