by Sophie Kim

Strong character development:
No
Loveable characters:
Yes
Diverse cast of characters:
Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
While I enjoyed the second half of the book a lot, I found myself wanting more from this book.
The Korean mythical elements were very cool and vibrantly explored. However, the characters lacked some depth that made it hard to care about their stakes in the story.
This reads as a fantastical murder mystery with romantic elements. I’m not sure I wanted a cop/crime drama when I came to this book and wish it was more about the mythical elements - especially with regards to the trickster God character.
