I found Lisa to be a less compelling character compared to Hani. I really liked Kisa and enjoyed her character especially under the lens of compare and contrast to Hani. I just think Hani is more rememerable and enjoyable to read.

Oh, Seokga thinks, he could fall in love with her forever, in all her forms. She’s not Hani. She’s Kisa. And he is beginning to adore her. Ardently.

I’m gonna be honest fellas, I enjoyed this more than I did The God and the Gumiho. Finding a murderer aboard a cruise ship in the underworld while adjusting to having met your soulmate, a situation that comes with a lot of baggage and complications??? I’m sold🙂‍↕️

I needed this book in my hands the minute I finished The God and the Gumiho—which wasn’t long considering I only waited for like a few days. The first book’s ending crushed me and this one did the same but healed me too. Besides the romance and the mystery, I also really enjoyed the friendships formed. 

Seokga and Kisa, oh they are so loved by me. The angst??? The yearning???? ‼️SPOILERS‼️The fact that they can read each other’s mind was both amusing and frustrating. Plus the thread being sentient was so funny. That one’s a menace with very good intentions.

Thank you NetGalley and Del Rey for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
