The God and the Gwisin by Sophie Kim
4.0
adventurous emotional funny mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I complained bitterly about the narrators in the previous book.  And then there was a new female narrator in this one and I had the same reaction to her as Seogka had to Yoo Kisa.  *side-eye* Who are you and what have you done to Kim Hani? So maybe I just don't know what I want in a narrator!

I liked this one a lot better.  I could feel their emotional growth and see them changing on the page.  I appreciate a bit of unrequited longing!  The secondary characters, including his brother, were a delight to have developed on page.
