The Plotters
Этот товар закончился.
Описание и характеристики
Reseng was raised by cantankerous Old Raccoon in the Library of Dogs. To anyone asking, it’s just an ordinary library. To anyone in the know, it’s a hub for Seoul’s organised crime, and a place where contract killings are plotted and planned. So it’s no surprise that Reseng has grown up to become one of the best hitmen in Seoul. He takes orders from the plotters, carries out his grim duties, and comforts himself afterwards with copious quantities of beer and his two cats, Desk and Lampshade.
But after he takes pity on a target and lets her die how she chooses, he finds his every move is being watched. Is he finally about to fall victim to his own game? And why does that new female librarian at the library act so strangely? Is he looking for his enemies in all the wrong places? Could he be at the centre of a plot bigger than anything he’s ever known?

Книга достаточно увлекательна, и я закончил ее за пару приемов, так что рекомендую. В целом сюжет интересен, но, учитывая, что речь идет о темном обществе и населяющих его сомнительных персонажах (например, наемных убийцах), я ожидал больше экшена. Настолько больше экшена. Даже некоторые "боевые эпизоды" показались мне затянутыми. В некоторых моментах мне нужно было больше "ома" (не знаю, как лучше сказать). Но, может быть, я просто простодушен и не понимаю сути. Отмечу, что - по крайней мере, для меня - большинство персонажей выглядели хорошими/забавными людьми, совершающими плохие поступки, что я оценил по достоинству, так как это позволило не пустить сюжет по шаблонному пути. Также мне показалось, что все комические моменты были удачно расставлены и исполнены. Поначалу я не был в восторге от развязки. Однако, поразмыслив, я понял, к чему стремился автор, и считаю, что в конечном итоге это был правильный финал для данной книги.
Plotters are just pawns like us. A request comes in and they draw up the plans. There’s someone above them who tells them what to do. And above that person is another plotter telling them what to do. You think that if you go up there with a knife and stab the person at the very top, that’ll fix everything. But no one’s there. It’s just an empty chair.
