Post-release thoughts:I'm sad about this one. I absolutely crave books like this and I was so excited when I first saw this book listed here I rushed to add it to the two Listopias I created: Fiction by Korean Authors and/or Containing Korean CharactersNon-Caucasian Protagonists in Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, and Paranormal Romance(Which are much cooler than the 100s of ZOMG!!!1! 2013 YA Releases You Would Kick a Puppy For!! Listopias that it's also on ... Jus' sayin'.)Steph told me not to read this and several other friends posted low-rated reviews so I stuck it on my "probably shouldn't read" and "based on reviews" shelves, but that didn't mean I'd never give it a chance.Now, there's no question.Pre-release thoughts:Oooh.This is set in a fantasy version of ancient Korea!
