I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I liked that Frederick enabled Hara to explore South Korea more in this book; I feel like I learned a lot about the language, food, and culture and met some delightful side characters. Hara was still frustratingly passive as a main character, and I wish her relationship with Yujun had been featured more (those darn business trips...). I know this is a duology, but I wish there were one more book to flesh out and tie up some of the plot points within this novel.
