This was an interesting book.
I thought the mystery was interesting, but a bit simplistic. I did like the twists and turns though.
I found the prince bit was confusing. I wish there had been more background into all of that, it seemed like the story was started in the middle, which, it kind of was.
The best writing for me, was the romance between Eojin and Hyeon. I wanted a bit more of that, especially at the end.
Still, it was an interesting and enjoyable book.
