I was so interested in this concept the moment I read the synopsis and got really excited for this book, but I think it just wasn’t it for me. I felt like I was missing a lot of stuff and didn’t like how I kept walking away with more questions than answers at the end of each part. The different character plotlines that interjected with Ha’s storyline also distracted me and kind of confused me at times. I really, really wanted to enjoy the book but sadly, it wasn’t my cup of tea. 3.5/5 stars
