For as short as this book is, it manages to cover a lot more information than I expected! It goes over important deities, mortals who became deities, creation myths, some mythological creatures, and the founding stories of the Three Kingdoms.
Read this as an introduction to Korean folklore, and use it as a launching point into more in-depth works for maximum effect.
Also, just a side note, but all of the sources listed in the bibliography are websites. :/

I'm torn - I LOVE the world, the mythology, the murder mystery and courtroom drama! But...I wasn't a huge fan of the romance? I mean, they're adorable, but the story was constantly bogged down by the "oh I like her, but I shouldn't!" followed immediately by "oh I like him, but I shouldn't!" For 20 chapters, while in the background Marguerite is being a spy and severed heads are turning up all over the place.
I'm settling on a 3.5 rating.
