A review by sahanasri
Winter in Sokcho by Elisa Shua Dusapin

dark mysterious tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

I read this at the recommendation of one of my favorite book/pop culture Youtubers because she described it as so snowy and bleak, which perfectly matches the vibes in New York right now. The writing style and setting are so unique in a short, matter of fact way. So much is said in each line with very few words - I’m sure there are things I missed just by reading a little too quickly. I will say this did feel a little too short, mainly because I was invested in what would happen next but overall a perfect snowy icy cold day read.
