3 posts | 3 read | 4 to read
If you could swap your life for a better one, which would you choose? On the outskirts of Rainbow Town, there is an old, abandoned house. They say that if you send a letter detailing your misfortunes there, you could receive a ticket. If you bring this ticket to the house on the first day of the rainy season, you'll be granted entrance into the mysterious Rainfall Market—where you can choose to completely change your life. No one is more surprised than Serin when she receives a ticket. Lonely and with no real prospects for a future, Serin ventures to the market, determined to create a better life for herself. There, she meets a magical cat companion named Issha and they search through bookstores, perfumeries, and fantastical realms while Serin tries to determine what her perfect life will look like. The catch? Serin only has one week to find her happiness or be doomed to vanish into the market forever. And all the while, a shadow follows quietly behind them…

I ended up enjoying this cozy Korean fantasy novel but it was a bit more cliche than I had hoped in some ways. A young girl goes to a magical market to change her life but none of the possible futures she sees seem to turn out as well as she'd hoped. Not only that, but a thief if plaguing the marker. Along with her magical cat companion Issha, Serrin will have to decide what exactly it is she's looking in life.

A bit of magic, a lot of love. There were a few too many characters and the plot felt a bit flat, the ending rushed. Still, it was a unique world and had moments of humor and flair. Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for a digital ARC.
