Marjaana
It’s hard to decide if I liked this book or not. It starts out exciting and suspenseful, and ends with some very interesting and original metafiction. However, the beginning of part 2 feels completely disconnected, and the book does not end with a clear conclusion. It was interesting to read the translator’s note and learn about some of her choices when translating from the original Korean text. It could be that some of the nuance and symbolism was lost in translation - nevertheless I think plot wise some loose ends could have been tied better for a more coherent reading experience.
