After finishing this delightfully beautiful enemies to lovers mythological fantasy, I had to give myself a few minutes. My eyes are still water, remnants of the tears that fell before still drying down my cheeks.

I figured the reveal of the demon long before the big reveal. For me, something just didn't sit right with that character.

Hani x Seokga. What can I say? Their antagonizing banter in the beginning was truly fun and I found myself just as they did as I turned the pages, surprised when it turned more friendly that actually derogatory. I love when everything started to begin for them. Until the end. But that end was truly the only way it could go and for them to still feel that way. I see this may be the first in a series...so maybe we will get more after those last pages. Even if we are told a different story, there's no way our journey with Hani x Seokga can just end like that. I need another epilogue. A novella. Something.
