DNF at 36% (page 127).

Normally I give DNFed books 2 stars or lower, but this is a special case. The book wasn't bad; the characters were great, the description was vivid, and the plot was fantastically fleshed out. I loved that there were journal entries from Silla and Nori throughout, and that random words were made larger or minuscule. The reason I DNFed it is because I couldn't take the horror. I know that sounds lame, but I don't take horror well. I went into this apprehensively, knowing it would be creepy. It was that and way more. So really, I didn't have an issue with it. I just couldn't handle the horror element, which is of course the main aspect of a horror novel. I would still recommend this to everyone - as long as you don't get scared easily like me. ;)
