### Review

Equal parts Kdrama (Korean drama) and sci-fi blockbuster, Oh blends futuristic tech, authentic Korean culture, and romance in this complex, utterly engrossing, and wholly fresh story that is sure to entice a wide array of readers. ----Booklist, starred review

This action-packed sci-fi novel, with deeper explorations of empathy, humanity, and the capacity to love, is a great choice for most collections. ----School Library Journal, starred review

Rebel Seoul is an example of what young-adult literature should be: an engaging story that explores other points of view. Most importantly, the story never dumbs anything down or sugarcoats difficult truths. The intended audience is definitely teens, but everyone can enjoy the blockbuster action and heartwarming drama of Oh s novel. ----Foreword Reviews, starred review
