The Last Fallen Star was an interesting middle-grade book about Korean mythology. Since I know nothing about Korean mythology I soaked up every bit of the mythos and the lore that was in the book. I loved the sister dynamic between Riley and her sister Hattie, as well as the family dynamic as a whole. The character growth of Riley was amazing, she's not the same person she was at the beginning of the book. Taeyo had to be my favourite character though, he's cute nativity made him a hilarious bundle of joy. The plot unfolds in a way that keeps the reader entertained and wanting to read more. The plot seemed to be split into two parts which I did not really like, but it did keep me entertained. The Last Fallen Star speaks to the people who question their sense of identity and whether they belong to their identity/culture. I'm excited about the second book and I cant wait to see what else Riley Oh can do.
