To the Warm Horizon by Jin-Young Choi
5.0
“Hope might not lie in any continent that I must walk to reach, but in time instead. A bright, warm season that appears as the Earth revolves at its own pace around the sun. The only thing we can do as humans may be to live on and welcome that season.”
truly and unbelievably devastating, i could barely finish the book because i was crying so hard. this book was so dark and scary at times but the love and connection between the characters felt so real and urgent, especially dori’s love for her sister. joy’s POV chapter absolutely destroyed me. definitely a book i’ll be thinking about for a while.
i’m kind of surprised that this book has so many low ratings, but i think this book is very specific and you have to know what to expect from it. i really really loved the writing style but i can see how some people might not like it, especially since it is translated from korean. it’s also not very focused on world building, there are no details about the virus or larger world events. this didn’t bother me at all but i went into the book expecting it would be pretty much only focused on the characters.
