Rounding up to a three, but this book was actually very hard for me to rate. The story held my attention, and I liked it better than The Ghost Bride, but I was so deeply uncomfortable with the relationship between Ji Lin and Shin.

A lovely story and murder mystery all wrapped up around a Folklore tale.

I found the characters loveable and was was really routing for some of them throughout the book.

I quite enjoyed jumping back and forward between the main characters perspectives. I did find the timeline a little hard to follow though so gave up on that part and just enjoyed the story.

I felt there were a couple of things never quite fully explained but I think this worked well with the fact this book had a strong link to a Folklore story that in itself has a lot of mystery wrapped around it.

This has me enthusiastic about reading her other works. I was transported immediately into the world she built and absorbed in the tale. I appreciated Ji Lin's intelligence, resourcefulness, loyalty, and ferocity.

Rating this four stars for now, but may come back and tweak that after I figure out what I think of some of the themes and situations in the book. It was definitely an engaging read regardless, though not, in my opinion, quite as entrancing as The Ghost Bride.
