Not quite a 5 star read for me, as I had some issues with the pacing and the last few chapters felt particularly rushed.
Also, the ending left me frustratingly wanting just a little bit more. Give me a few more hours with these characters, don't leave it like that!
But the characters, the plot, the setting - really enjoyed all of that. Even though I had seen the Korean film adaptation years before, I couldn't remember how it ended - and the story kept me guessing right until the last. Would love to read more in this world.
