It has been thirty-three years since Seokga and Hani saved the world from endless darkness. And thirty-three years since they were separated. Since then, Seokga has been searching relentlessly for her reincarnation with no luck. Especially now that the red string of fate that is supposed to bring them together has become a jumbled, useless mess.

Kisa is beyond exhausted. She was exhausted as a doctor when she was living. And now she’s even more exhausted as she repays her karmic debt from her last life while waiting for reincarnation. When they both end up on a cruise ship in another realm, they must team up to solve a new mystery that may be more than it seems while their fates hang in the balance.

This book was fast-paced and engaging from the start. I enjoyed how we explored Seokga’s background and family dynamics a bit more, which allowed us to have a much better understanding of his character. We also were reunited with some old friends and met new ones who helped with the investigation. Seeing how the characters have grown and changed since we last saw them was exciting. I had a blast reading this sequel, and certainly would not complain if we get to visit this world again. 

Thank you to Netgalley, author Sophie Kim, and Random House Publishing-Ballentine | Del Rey for an advanced copy of this book! All opinions are my own. <3
