This story was captivating. The number of challenges the author had to endure was remarkable. This story includes her victories and her failures while revealing the manipulation of truth and social aspects of North Korean culture. There are also some insights into how the Chinese and other cultures treated North Koreans. It feels like you are more of an observer than a participant in this story. This is probably partially due to the author growing up in a place where you are scared of everyone. She could not let her secrets be known so she had to remain distanced for others. This is a very thought provoking journey.

This was a very engaging story with wonderful character work and very even pacing. The characters are well developed. Even the side characters feel like real people with all the messiness that comes with that. Some difficult things happen but the author never wallows in it and nothing is there for shock factor. Looking back on it, everything serves the story. There is a purpose to everything that happens to the point where I plan to listen to the audiobook when it releases so I can experience it again.
