The Last Fallen Star by Graci Kim

Rating: WARTY!

That this was "praised by Rick Riordan as 'amazing'." tells me I never want to read it. Riordan, as you may recall, criminally transported Greek mythology to the US, because god forbid we should tell those stories in the land of origin. The US is far more important and who wants to hear Greek mythology that hasn't been US-ified? Barf. I guess he thought this was amazing because Kim does precisely the same thing he did, except in her case it's Korean mythology that's transplanted, because there's no way in hell anyone would be interested in a Korean mythology story actually set in Korea. I mean, why would they?
