I received an ARC from Del Rey through Edelweiss. This doesn't affect my thoughts about the book in any way. Happy release week to Sophie Kim! 🥀
What if Hotel Del Luna was on a cruise ship? Read this stunning sequel to the Fates of Thread Duology to find out!
🦊 he knew her in a past life
⚔️ grumpy god x shy gwisin
🦊 korean mythology
⚔️ murder mystery & fantasy
🦊 a man who YEARNS
⚔️ reads like a kdrama
The God & The Gwisin reminds me so much of what if a kdrama about souls bound for reincarnation had the comedy of A Business Proposal and Hotel Transylvania. This book has PEAK yearning!
Intertwined with a modern take on Korean mythology, Sophie Kim gives us a sequel that’s incredibly romantic but angsty and funny at the same time. We reunite with grumpy Seokga who spent 33 years looking for his lost love Hani since she passed, who apparently reincarnated in the form of incredibly smart Kisa. The only catch? She doesn’t remember him.
The book is adult fantasy with a fun murder mystery plot told through two alternating POVs. Reading this felt like I’ve reunited with old friends and met new ones along the way. I truly enjoyed how exciting this was. It was so funny I literally could not stop laughing at how perfect the comedic timing was in every chapter 😭 Seokga was on his knees getting insulted left and right and I’m giggling like an idiot at my Kindle TT (Godly Gossip strikes again!)
I would say this book is way more lighthearted than the first one, but it kept that nostalgic feel and has the perfect ending for our two star-crossed lovers. Thank you, Miss Sophie for giving me the beauty in the form of Hani/Kisa and Seokga.
