Het concept was goed, de uitwerking wat minder. Veel beschrijvingen vond ik te uitgebreid waardoor ik moeite had om echt in het verhaal te blijven. Het verloop van het verhaal zelf was op een gegeven moment ook niet echt spannend.

Maybe my rating is a bit too harsh but this book really wasn’t working for me. The characters were way too unlikeable and the writing style was not a vibe. Half of it didn’t even make sense to me. The only thing that really made sense to me is the title of this book.

Op zich was dit een prima verhaal, maar ik voel me er vrij onverschillig over.

Dit was een prima verhaal, maar ik vond het niet geweldig. Er zijn eerdere delen geweest waarvan ik het plot spannender en beter in elkaar vond zitten.

This was a very enjoyable read and I really liked the found family aspect of it. The setting was really nice and it was a fun way to learn about this Korean legend.

I liked the concept, but I just couldn’t stand Julie. I get that she was going through a lot, but she wasn’t the only one and it felt like she made everything about herself.

The beginning was a bit slow but I really liked how everything came together in the end. It was definitely a fun read for spooky season.

Dit verhaal begon sterk en ik vond het concept erg leuk, alleen het verhaal zakte al vrij snel in. Het was niet per se saai, maar het was ook niet dat ik nou echt per se verder wilde lezen.

The characters were just too stupid and annoying and the plot was way too predictable to be likeable.
