A slow start with a quickening plot that kept me interested after the first quarter of the book. The swapping perspectives were interesting and the descriptions as the plot thickened were very vivid. I love that this takes from Korean folklore; I feel I've learned so much! I picked this up from my library and am so eager to read the sequel.
4/5 stars
I'm a bit disappointed because the first quarter to a half of this book was so promising, so much so that I wondered if this was going to be a new all-time favourite. The banter between Hani and Seokga was excellent, and I really enjoyed their pettiness towards each other (something that came across as funny instead of childish or annoying). But ultimately I felt the romance happened too quickly when this would have benefitted from a slower burn. I am happy to say that I did no figure out the mystery on my own though, and I am really looking forward to the sequel.

Exactly like a K-drama or rofan manhwa (I think it would make a gorgeous webtoon with the right artist). This book gave Alchemy of Souls and Tale of the Nine Tailed vibes.

I am crying in the middle of the night from emotions and laughter. Also gave me more reasons to drink more coffee - read and you will understand.
Wasn’t really feeling it…might revisit
