Aku tidak bisa berkata bahwa ini adalah takdir yang disebabkannya sendiri. Aku juga tidak bisa berkata bahwa ini adalah hukuman yang harus dibayarnya.

Hm... rasanya hampa dan suram. Beberapa kali ngerasa kalau ceritanya terlalu bertele-tele dan too detailed, tapi mungkin ini untuk membangun suasana dan menjelaskan setting dalam cerita. Ada beberapa halaman yang memuat satu paragraf full tanpa dibedah... Rasanya gak karuan dan bikin turn off pas baca. 

Aku juga dibuat emosi selama baca perlakuan YJ. Gila kali itu orang. Aku juga menyayangkan kenapa denah desa tersebut dimuat di akhir halaman :( saranku ketika membaca ini, perlu mood/keadaan yang fine dan karena karakternya cukup banyak jadi perlu catatan mini. Terakhir, setidaknya ada hal baik dalam buku ini tentang Seowon yang dibantu oleh Paman Ahn.

I wasn't satisfied with the ending, but otherwise I think it was a solid thriller. Amazing portrayal of human relationships imo, characters have a lot of depth.
