Bride of the Water God: Volume 4

by Mi-Kyung Yun, 172 pages

Mui succeeds in bringing Soah back to Suguk, but what future awaits them? As Soah grows more torn than ever in her feelings toward Haebek and Mui, not realizing they are one and the same, other players take turns moving their pieces on the board and sitting back to watch the results.

Too many secrets and misunderstandings cloud these characters' lives for them to move forward safely. Why doesn't Haebek tell Soah the truth directly? Or maybe he can't? This story reminds me of those puzzles with the little numbered tiles that you have to scoot around with only one blank space to get them all in order. No piece's place is truly set until the last one slides into its rightful spot. Who can Soah trust? Can these characters even trust themselves and their own memories? Dunno, dunno, but I'm sticking around till I find out!
