I wish that the novel had been a bit longer so that we had more time to get really in depth with the characters, but I think that the novel did a good job of doing what it ultimately set out to do, and that was to show how the Korean culture and way of life vanished under Japanese rule.

What i like most is the accurate rendition of key historical events such as ancient wars with Japan, proselytisation by French Catholics, and political pro-independence events. However, the absence of a glossary is the major problem I have with it for there are unexplained non-English words.
Nevertheless, I recommend this book to history buffs - for its faithfulness to facts - and to writers interested in learning how to weave together history and fiction seamlessly without compromising the value of either. If you like happy endings, though, steer clear of this one.

There was nothing I disliked about the novel. On the contrary, I would warmly recommend it to all fans of historical fiction and the development of international relations at the turn of the 20th century. Those who like reading stories of self-discovery will also be drawn to Embon's quest and evolution.
I agree so much!
