Had to abandon another book: Ice Song by Kirsten Imani Kasai. I bought this for $1.99 from Amazon.
The premise is interesting enough, and the world-building is decent, but this book could have benefited from a good editor. The plot holes are glaring; and the writing, though promising, just didn't grab me enough to continue beyond 37%.
So... I switched to The Girl with Seven Names: A North Korean Defector’s Story by Hyeonseo Lee. I am 78% through it, and I like this one!
