[New post] Book Review: Third Moon Passing
IndieBookView posted: " Third Moon Passing by Rina Olsen Genre: Historical Fiction / Fantasy ISBN: 9781639889051 Print Length: 388 pages Publisher: Atmosphere Press Reviewed by Genevieve Hartman Set in the Korean peninsula in the 1870s, as the Wes" Independent Book Review
Set in the Korean peninsula in the 1870s, as the Western world prepares to infiltrate the country, Third Moon Passing by Rina Olsen is an epic tale. It follows Chansol, the daughter of a mountain god, Moonso, the son of the Dragon King of the West Sea, and two human Korean girls, Wolhwa and Daseul.
The girls' lives become entangled in the affairs of the gods due to an unlikely accident caused by Chansol and Moonso, and all four must embark on a quest that takes them far from their homes near a rural Korean island to an underwater palace and to the dark depths of the Underworld. There they must uncover the messy secrets of the past, even as their families mourn their disappearance, their worshippers call out for protection, and the American troops threaten to invade.
Third Moon Passing is lush with the history and folklore of the Joseon (Korean) people, exploring an often overlooked part of the past. Real historical figures live alongside carefully rendered fictional ones, and the pantheon of Korean folk gods are brought to life in all their powers. Told from multiple perspectives, the book reckons with imperialistic Western ideologies and the Koreans' fight to remain pure of this Western influence.
