4.5☆

What do you get when you pair a snarky former trickster god with a mischievous fox spirit and add a bit of dramatic murder mystery to the mix? A whole lot of fun is what!

SpoilerAnd, you apparently also get some gut wrenching emotional beats and a bittersweet ending to boot. My heart! *cries profusely*

This probably would've been a 5⭐, if I hadn't accidentally spoiled myself by reading book 2 synopsis.
Knowing that she will be reincarnated basically made the stakes non-existing


ALSO! I read this because someone recommended it if you wanted Kpop Demon Hunter vibes - Rumi and Jinu. It's not perfect but I do recommend picking it up for those vibes!

As someone obsessed with trickster gods and strong women, this book was right up my alley! This was a story set up for heartbreak, but told in a way where you fall in love with the characters with every page turn. The tension was high throughout much of the book, but that made reading it so exciting. I can't wait to see what happens in the next one!
