3.75 The God & the Gumiho was one of my surprise reads of last year. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters, plot and writing so I was very excited to head into its sequel. I very quickly realised that if The God & the Gumiho was more Hani’s book, The God & the Gwisin is Seokga’s. We get a really nice insights on his thoughts and feelings, especially after those years without Hani as well as his struggle and complicated feelings for Kisa. We also get a lot of banter and bickering, but I feel like that's a given! While the first 20% were a bit slow, the pace did pick up nicely after. There were really great moments throughout and while I did enjoy the writing and humour a lot, I can’t say I was as invested as I was with the first book. The plot itself was great and had similar vibes to book one. We also get to meet a couple of old & new characters and Yeomra *might* be one of my new faves. I saw the author compared it to the kdrama Hotel del Luna and I fully agree (If you haven’t watched that drama, I *very* highly recommend to do so). I kept thinking of the reasons why this book didn’t quite hit the mark for me and I think it comes down to me not being as invested as I hoped I would be, liking the plot of The God & the Gumiho more and then ultimately also liking Hani more. The God & the Gwisin is a fun sequel and I can see people liking it just as much as book one. I saw that the author already announced their next book, which sounds great. Can’t wait to read it! Thank you to Del Rey for providing this book for review via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
ᨳ᭬ ⭑ ⭑ ⭑ ⭑ ࿐ྂ “Whenever she kisses him, simply because she can and she wants to, he wonders how his wicked soul ever came to deserve this.” Oh my god i can't describe how much i love the characters and how happy i am to be revisiting the Universe even though it hasn't been long since i read the first Book. The Story was so good and don't even get me started on the writing style but i still like the first Book more. I have the biggest soft spot for Seokga, I just love him so much and Hwanin, get behind me, i will protect you from the everything. I’m still not sure what i think of Somi, she was kinda irrelevant here (i’m sorry for saying this). “This is home, Seokga.” Her fingers brush over his lips. “With you.”
Perfect sequel
I was worried that this would disappoint me since I loved the first book so much but at this point Sophie Kim could publish her shopping list and I would eat it up. I loved how they handled the reincarnation, it's a difficult subject and easy to mess up but it was done nicely. The humor was once again great, the K-drama vibes were still there but it felt a little bit more serious than the first book. Somi being in this book and her character development were a bit of a surprise for me personally, but a welcome one So excited for the third book
