A very beautifully written novel. Goes by fast, my audiobook was only 2.5hrs. I love the formatting of having two stories be told, but at times I got lost. Very easy to catch back up. Overall, highly enjoyable read. I recommend it to anyone interested in folklore and Asian culture!

Good points on the exotic feel and imagery oozing and...with any story, how can one tell "how the TRUE story goes"?
