A slow start with a quickening plot that kept me interested after the first quarter of the book. The swapping perspectives were interesting and the descriptions as the plot thickened were very vivid. I love that this takes from Korean folklore; I feel I've learned so much! I picked this up from my library and am so eager to read the sequel.
