I love Korean culture, so I decided to read this book when I saw it was available on Amazon Prime.

We’re never told of the narrator’s name, only that she is a sixth grader. More importance is put on the sons of the family. Our narrator’s family is poor. In order to help with the money problem, our narrator makes a shocking choice.

This is a very short story, but it is written very well. I felt like I was in the story. It is a sad story though.

squid game has many legs to it inthat it could have gone in any direction
personally i didnt see what all the hype was all about , having said that it was an addictive show just to see what happens next ,the acting was good (we watched in dubbed english but the original korean apparently is better with englisg subtitles) it was a little violent for younger viewers but other than that it was a good couple of hrs viewing on a cold autumn night

Taken from my review on Goodreads: I won this book during a Kindle giveaway, and I'm very happy I was one of the lucky winners of this book. For a book that almost has five stars on this forum, it definitely deserves its ranking. This book not only tells a legend to an ignorant American government official, it tells the story of how a shy girl became a queen that sparked a revolution between the Koreans and the Japanese in the late 1800's. Honestly, the present day parts didn't add much except for why Anna is telling the story in the first place, which I guess adds some relevance, but the core of the story is the story of Ja-young, who should count as a princess Disney will never write about considering how sexist and violent her situation got throughout the entire novel. My greatest advice for encountering this book is skip the beginning and go straight to Ja-young's story. Waaaaaaaaaaay more influential than listening to a white man ramble about North and South Korean issues any day of the week.
