Kai is the only daughter in her family and even though she is a girl, her father still teaches her how to fight alongside her brothers. On her thirteenth birthday she discovers that her mother made a deal with Gumiho in order to have a child and the rumors that follow her and her mother have more truth to them than she imagined.
This was such an interesting graphic novel! I really liked that there was a prelude to the story that detailed historical context and Korean mythology. I also really appreciated the annotations throughout the novel.
I love stories where characters meet as children and then come to find each other again later in life. Kai and Sura’s relationship was not the full focus of the story but it was nice to read about.
Thank you to NetGalley for making this available in exchange for an honest review!
