kongart 's review for:

The Red Palace by June Hur
4.0

this was very enjoyable.

however, i didn’t give it five stars because
1. the characters didn’t seem fully developed (secondary or otherwise)
2. problems kind of resolved themselves too easily
3. people were really out there just spilling the beans on all the deep dark secrets. one would think they’d be more hesitant to do so.

june hur writes well, though, and the setting is top notch, so these “issues” aren’t that big of a deal to me and i would still recommend the book.
