cjmiller 's review for:

The Red Palace by June Hur
4.5
adventurous emotional mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

My only criticism is that the book can be a little repetitive with certain details. 
I've never been one for historical fiction but I'm always down for a murder mystery. I've never read anything set in Korea so I decided to try it. I loved learning about court politics and ancient nursing. I also appreciated the prince being based off a real prince. 
bonus that it was a slow burn, I was obsessed.
