This review is written by Nic's wife.I'll be the first to admit that Korean history and culture is not my strong suite. I know more than some people, but less than many more. So I really enjoyed the perspective and cultures explored in Moonlight Dancer, and will probably check out some of the books referenced as research. For the most part, the characters were solidly written, though there were a few spots where their development felt a little rushed.The story was entertaining, though the end threw me a bit. I had some peeves with the plotting, but mainly I was jarred by the switches in the narration, from recollection, to letters, to modern day, etc. without the formatting setting any visual cues. At times it was a little difficult to follow whether I was still reading a letter, or whether it was present day again.Still a fun read.
