Unfortunately, I could not get into it/could not give a shit about these characters :/
The first book was fine and I was interested in the Korean folklore inspiration, but this wasn’t quite compelling enough to try to continue.

The way Sophie meshes mythology and legends with imaginative storytelling and creates this beautiful, intricate new blend of something altogether new is nothing short of spellbinding. How love transcends every, even death. I cried so many tears, Sophie. I can't wait to see what you write next.

I absolutely adored this book. While it was not as good as the first one, in my opinion, it was still a really good sequel. I love books based on the red string of fate, and being able to find your soulmate in every life time and this book really did well with showing the struggles that one might face while waiting to reconnect with a lost love. While the last book left off with our amazingly charismatic and beloved FMC dying , we get introduced to our new FMC in this sequel. Kisa is completely different from Hani in so many ways, which was a huge change to the FMCs dynamic with Seokga. At first, I wasn't sure how I felt about Kisa and Seokga, since Hani's personality was more suited to him (in my opinion), and Seokga seemed to realize this, but still was interested due to Kisa being his soulmate, just in another life. However, Kisa did grow on me, and I was able to see and understand why she would also be a good match for Seokga. The introduction of new characters and bringing back old characters and giving us a new view of them was also a really great idea and I enjoyed it.
I also liked the attempt at delving into the murder mystery genre with this book, although the big reveal wasn't really a surprise to me. As soon as the murder happened, the thought popped into my head about who had done it, and I couldn't get how no one else was able to see that it was the therapist. She was just introduced, knew all about Seokga's life and want to his soulmate, came on the ship for no reason, but yet no one doubted her.
After the traumatizing ending of the first book, I was very worried about how Sophie Kim would end this book, but this ending made me so happy to see.
Thank you to Random House Publishing for the eARC of this book. This is my honest review.
