3.0

This book definitely fell a little flat. I have heard only good things about Winter in Sokcho, yet after reading it isn’t very memorable. The main character doesn’t do more than exist and many of her flaws aren’t fully explained. Kerrand has the potential to be a good character, but like the book itself, falls flat. The plot of the book is fine, but there is little development and the end scene seemed a little predictable. 
Overall, it’s not a bad book, but it’s not a good book either.
