Thank you Del Rey and Netgalley for the ARC!
OOOH I am so happy to be back in this world. Kim did a great job introducing the new character of Kisa, including parts we love of Hani while also acknowledging she isn't the same person. I love the new love story that played out, the way side characters got to develop more, and the fact we got to learn more about the world and how it works. I feel like Kim is writing towards something, and I am so excited for this story to continue to play out.
If you like K-Dramas, you really should pick this one up.

I have to agree with Sumi, Seokga is a terrible detective.
This was fun. I don’t think it was as good as the first, but it was nice to revisit the world and see that they did find each other in Hani’s next life.
At times the writing was a little cringey or obvious (the many mentions of Seokga’s arse and the onboard mystery respectively) but overall this is just a fun read and a further expansion of the world of Korean gods and monsters - which is an interesting world to visit.
I’m not sure if there will be any more in the series - though the epilogue implies there might be - and I’m not sure I will definitely read them. But I would definitely recommend these books to anyone who wants a book that feels a bit like a KDrama.

4.3 ⭐️
Interviewer 1: Is it true that in 2000 you attended a TLC concert and cried during "Waterfalls"? The photos were so grainy that nobody could tell if it was you or an overemotional mortal man.
Look, I know that I said in my last review that I am not a big fan of pop culture in books, but The God and the Gwisin did it in a way that didn't take away from the book. Seokga is a God and has lived through so many years, it kind of fits.
The last book of this duology surprised me, much like how The God and the Gumiho surprised me.
We continue where the previous book ended and this time we're on a cruise! To the underworld, but minor details! I swear, this book did what I think Voyage of the Damned wanted to be and it actually read like an adult book. A murder takes place and now Seokga and Kisa have to figure out whodunnit before its too late because the stakes are quite high in this book. A time limit is given and you get this great angst that isn't too angst.
Seokga is nonchalant as ever and funny. I loved having Somi back. I'm glad her arc was completed and we got an ending for her. The relationship between Seokga and Hwanin is relatable and becomes more unhinged in this book.
I was surprised that I liked Kisa, considering how much I loved Hani in the first book. It worked out so well. Even if the person who did it wasn't as surprising, the ride was fun and that's all that matters.
Plus .5 stars because Hwanung plays Cookie Run and so do I, hahaha.
