A review by sisa_moyo
City of Ash and Red by Pyun Hye-young

adventurous dark tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
About a suspiciously familiar pandemic starting in “country C”, gigantic rats, mountains of garbage and broken marriages.
oddly gripping, despite all the trash, and rat exterminations, phone calls and how this pandemic affected lives, economies, the environment and so many other things. 
Oh and also murders.
