what a banger of a volume, beautiful, that's what it was, absolutely stunning, I love Shin Yoosung, Han Sooyoung, and Lee Gilyoung. two of which are kids, Shin young the younger one visible on the cover.
This kids have gotten most adult beaten on the amount of balls they're logging around and that isn't just comparing them to other kids from other series but even in world, they scare the shit out of others and Dokja just cares them around like some obsessive single father, they're basically his hand bags
The world has been at war since before Sak was born, however, thanks to being a core user Sak has lived a relatively safe and even spoiled life at the Academy, a school designed to train core users to eventually assist in the war effort. While Sak's core ability is rather useless it has given him a heightened sense of smell, thanks to this Sak is able to detect a new virus wreaking havoc on the world while still in it's still in the incubation period. After smelling the virus in one of his classmates Sak is finally told the truth by his mentor; core users have a "caller" a person from whom the core user draws energy from to power their abilities and whole core users may be immune to the virus callers are not. Sak sets forth immediately to find his caller before the virus claims them both.
This was much better than I expected it to be! We've got a rampaging virus that creates zombies, weird abilities that don't seem to have any rhyme or reason for existing, what looks like a government cover-up, and a romance!
I really loved both characters in this. While this is an enemies-to-lovers thing it's an interesting take on it, Sak and Lima are complete strangers and while Lima completely distrusts Sak as soon as they meet it's completely understandable. Thanks to whatever this core thing is for Sak it's essentially love at first sight for Lima its random stranger starts stalking me in a world where I was a child soldier. Lima's distrust is 100% reasonable. Sak is also incredibly immature for his age and while part of this is due to being sheltered he just kinda seems to live in his own world. Even without the very weird way they end up meeting, I can totally see Lima disliking Sak almost immediately regardless.
What I really loved about this though is the Academy or the government clearly knows more about the Core Users and the Callers than they are letting on so we've got a good old-fashioned conspiracy. That alone makes it worth the read in my book.
The art is absolutely gorgeous as well. I loved the way that colors are used in this as well, only certain scenes are fully colored with the vast majority of the panels having just color added to certain parts of the characters. This emphasizes what is important in that scene.
I am definitely going to be continuing this series!
As always thanks to NetGalley and Yen Press for the eArc!
