I really don’t know what to say. It seems the whole book consists of our main character, Sang, arriving at a new home and being befriended by a strange group of boys who seem to take her under their wing before she has to enrol at school. Nothing really happens beyond setting up the idea that there’s something odd about this group, one or two hints about who might be involved and a suggestion that Sang might be like them.
We’re clearly told that Sang’s parents are abusive towards her, and nobody seems to notice/care. This sends a horrible message.
Her naïveté is explained to an extent, but she puts herself in very odd situations with little regard for what might happen.
I’m mildly curious to know what The Academy is, but I don’t think I’ll lose sleep over not knowing.
