![]() Shades of Labyrinth and Six of Crows mix with Korean mythology to combine a lush and immersive fantasy world (and.that was pretty much all I needed to hear!) The story of a teen assassin forced to work for her kingdom’s most dangerous crime lord in order to protect her younger sister, she finds herself at risk when she attracts the attention of a dangerous immortal known as a dokkaebi-a Korean goblin-and will have to use all her deadly skills to survive. (Think Elizabeth Lim’s gorgeous Six Crimson Cranes duology, Axie Oh’s magical The Girl Who Fell Beneath The Sea, and Kat Cho’s addictive Gumiho series.) And Sophie Kim’s debut novel Last of The Talons sounds like it’s going to be another thrilling release in this vein. ![]() Stories based on Korean legends and mythology are suddenly popping up all over in the world of YA fantasy- in all the very best ways. ![]()
