alongreader 's review for:

The Silence of Bones by June Hur
3.0

I'm not usually a big fan of historical, and that trend holds true here. It's an interesting read, but probably not one I'll come back to. The big twist was telegraphed early on, but the ending was still relatively satisfying. Right up until I read the author's note at the end I genuinely wasn't sure if it was based on real life events or whether the whole indenture system had been made up - I knew indenture was a thing in the history of the world, obviously, I just wasn't aware that it was in use in Korea. I also had to look up a lot of terms as there was no glossary, but maybe there will be when the book is published.

I'm glad I read it, but I won't be rushing to read more in this line.
