iwi 's review for:
The Red Palace
by June Hur
Not for meeee
I found the characters to be very wooden. No one seemed to have much depth to them. The mystery itself was interesting but the progress of it was poorly done in my opinion. We only started uncovering things in the last two chapters.
For it to be loosely based on an actual historical prince is a little wild to me. The story of the prince seemed so unaddressed in the book as a whole. Like yes he was there at the beginning, but then he just became a backdrop. His character seems so unresolved, we don't even get to see his reaction to being accused or anything.
I just didn't enjoy it as much as I'd hoped.
