Moon of the Turning Leaves

This book amazingly continues the story of the Whitesky family from the previous book, Moon of the crusted snow. Evan is still heavily featured in this book while his daughter Nanghoons takes up more of the spotlight, as the book is mainly written from her perspective. 
Many people critiqued the slow pace of the first book. This one is still kinda slow but a lot more tense all throughout. At one point, I actually leaned forward and my heart started beating faster in anticipation - this never happens for me. 
The story wraps up suddenly, but nicely. Its a fairly nice ending and fitting, considering the book is about the journey of our protagonists and the Whitesky family. Really loved this book. :)
