The God and the Gwisin
by Sophie Kim
Our crew is back and this time, they are on a cruise through the underworld!
I had a difficult time getting into this installment, unfortunately, it doesn't get interesting until around 22%. There were many character introductions and setting that needed to be laid out, which was difficult to get through when this is supposed to be a continuation of an already existing story. I was saddened by how many lovable characters didn't even make an appearance in the novel. The story ended up suffering from second book syndrome (aka should have left book 1 a a standalone).
My biggest complaint was the romantic relationship. The red string of fate ended up just being annoying (the snippets of thoughts shared through it were weirdly formatted), the relationships being constantly compared made it seem like they weren't actually fated at all, and the spice was a weird mix of juvenile and over the top?
Thank you to Del Rey and Netgalley for the ARC!
