The Silence of Bones
by June Hur
4.5 stars I loved this and I read it all in one day, which I wasn't expecting to do. This hooked me in from the start and I did not want to put it down. The pacing is great, never felt like it dragged on. The plot was interesting and I really enjoyed the history that was woven into the story, which is saying something cause I'm not a huge history person but it was interesting learning about the conflict & tensions between the different factions & religious groups in Korea at that time (1800s). The mystery in here was really interesting and seeing how all of that unfolded was great. Overall, I thought this was really well written and a very strong debut.
