Reading this book feels like watching a fast paced Korean action movie. Its about political intrigue and the cat and mouse chase between between operatives as well as the classic standoffs between North Korea, South Korea and America (they are always in the center of everything) but its main themes revolves around the sense of belonging as well as identity.
The ending is especially bittersweet
Graphic: Death, Torture, and Violence
Moderate: Suicide
