This book is marketed, at least where I looked it up, as "adult". Certainly, some scenes may fall into this category, but if the ‘Hunger Games’ books are intended for readers aged 13 and over, ‘The Rainfall Market’ can easily be included. Quite unexpectedly, there were some lovely drawings of the main characters at the beginning of the book. Just like the cover, the story transports the reader into an enchanted world of magical creatures and the possibility of changing one's life. In some ways, it reminded me of "The Midnight Library" by Matt Haig, but You Yeong-Gwang's story is a lot more cheerful and way less repetitive. Although there were some challenging moments in this book, it left me with an overall warm and happy feeling.
