주요내용	When I first heard of this book regarding Kim Yo Jong, a figure of growing prominence inside the North Korean regime, I was intrigued. She was obviously the sister of the Supreme Leader, but her profile had recently begun to expand beyond just being a gatekeeper and source of Mt. Paektu grandeur. The fact that someone had taken it upon themselves to write an entire book about her was impressive, although I did question whether there were enough sources available to do such a biography justice. After reading the book, I can recommend it for the novice, someone who is interested in learning the basic history of Kim Jong Un’s North Korea. Seasoned Pyongyang watchers, however, will not find much new in this book. The Sister relies on a well-worn narrative that already resides in the public realm, and the insights it does provide are often based on flights of speculation and armchair psychoanalysis.
