The God and the Gwisin was a delightful follow-up to The God and the Gumiho and one I devoured in a day.
Sophie Kim does a great job at building up characters and their relationships and despite this being what basically boils down to a fated mates story, there was no skipping over the connection slowly being reformed for who was Hani, now Kisa, and Seokga.
While I found the plot predictable, I did enjoy it for what it was. It was a decent murder mystery hunt, though maybe not quite as well done as book one.
Seokga continues to be a great, grumpy MMC and I loved how soft he is for Kisa and also his brother. It's a delight to see him swap from grumpy and snarling to a doting mess, trying to pretend he isn't. I loved the conflict he had, about missing Hani and trying not to expect her but still having that disappointment when he noticed differences between her and Kisa at the start. It added a nice layer to the relationship and his years of yearning.
Kisa was amazing as a FMC. I actually preferred her to Hani. I loved how intelligent she was, how much she sought out knowledge. How she put her foot in it sometimes and realised but didn't always know how to fix it. It made her stand out so much from Hani and it was great.
Overall a great read.
