So the four season novels or four novels of Ilana Tan season each titled Summer in Seoul, Autumn in Paris, Winter in Tokyo, and Spring in London. Then, is the story of the novels sustainable? Actually the four novels are in terms of the story has nothing to do at all. Meaning? Yes you can read this novel freely and not in sequence. Then, for what made a package and named 4 seasons as if must have all four?
Well, here's the exciting novel Ilana Tan ...
Connected to the four novels is from the first novel to the last, the characters are interconnected, whether relatives, friends, or simply neighbors. So, it's better if we read in sequence as I've ordered before.

The first book of Season Series is light enough, the language used was not complicated, even simple. Whereas most of the dialogue in this book is written in standard Indonesian, considering the original dialogue is in Korean. But the use of a standard language does not make this book rigid. The story runs smoothly.
The narration and description in this Korean-style novel is pretty good, so I feel as though I'm watching Korean drama. Although the story tends to be light and relaxed, I can not wait to turn the pages of this book, because I am very curious about what will happen to Sandy and Jung Tae-Woo. The logging process of Sandy and Tae-Woo's relationships feels so natural, even though I actually feel the artist-asking-to-the-casual occurrence is somewhat less plausible leading to fan fiction.
Overall, I really enjoy this book. What I think is less the conflict that is not too sharp. This book is very suitable to read by a romantic story enthusiast who was wanting to read a love story light-light. A little vent when I started reading Summer in Seoul, I was confused by the names of the characters. In fact, I still find it difficult to distinguish the names of Korean boys and girls. The Korean-lover will definitely not have a problem about the name. However, you do not have to be a Korean-lover really, to be able to enjoy Summer in Seoul.
After reading Summer in Seoul, I officially put Ilana Tan into my favorite list of authors. I fell in love with his polite style of storytelling.
So that"s all for this one, just wait for my another review about the other seasons of this novel okay ? ;)
