linzirene 's review for:
The God and the Gwisin
by Sophie Kim
thanks to del rey for the e-ARC.
okay, so my disclaimers are: I loved book one, I love urban fantasy, and I love mysteries in fantasy worlds. suffice to say, this book was a hit for me.
I really didn’t know where this story would go after the last book (and neither did seokga), but I ended up quite pleased with the plot arc we got. there were silly antics, a mystery I had some ideas about but couldn’t just solve myself, and some really angsty moments. I think the author did a great job of keeping a cohesive tone and pace to the book while blending all of these pieces together: the laughs and the tears didn’t feel at odds, rather, complementary. out of personal preference, I like drier or more subtle humor, but I wasn’t off put by the silliness. and the angst/longing/tragic fated love were excellent. of course I could have taken more, but I was moved by it and got invested in this new (old?) pairing
