ivanareadsalot 's review for:
The Red Palace
by June Hur
I would like to thank Edelweiss and Square Fish for the opportunity to read and review this ARC.
The Red Palace was an absolutely stunning story! Compulsively readable prose, great pacing, chokehold gripping mystery and 1000% more blood than i expected, this was a MEGA gold star win for my reading year!
from the first word to the last, i was hooked on everything that unfolded for Hyeon, who is hands down this year's winner of FMCs-i-did-not-hate-and-in-fact-loved award! Gahhh everything from her name, her background, her origin story, was perfection...my gawd Sis had me from the second she lied to the guard to get in on the crime scene! And from then on she was just competent and brave as all hell, and stg she's probably the only literary muggle (U20) (since prob Jude in Queen of Nothing) who's ever earned this much praise!
Now let's just take a moment to LOOK at the gorgeousness that is @park_sunga's illustration of Eojin! I fkin died! Baby girl had no chance, because even my scaredy cat ass would be compelled into solving a murder mystery if this man asked me to! #incentivizewith love #workromanceforhigherproductivity
And OFC i must celebrate that JH lives in Toronto and went to UofT!!!
I loved everything about this historical murder mystery! this was a well-crafted reading pleasure and it was thrilling from beginning to end!
I cannot wait to read everything June Hur has ever written, now that I know what i've been missing! Super excited to devour A Crane Among Wolves next, and happy to look forward to whatever else June Hur has in store for the future!
