The God and the Gwisin by Sophie Kim
3.75
emotional funny mysterious sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

 The God and the Gwisin felt even more like a K-Drama than its predecessor, so if that was something you enjoyed, this book will definitely be up your alley!

I had fun with this book. Seogka had some interesting character development from the previous book, and Kisa was a fun contrast to Hani. 

Seogka did a lot of yearning for something he felt a little entitled to, and Kisa was very consistently pushed to be someone that she wasn’t. I’m glad that she held her ground for the entirety of the book, but if I were her, I would have lost my utter mind with all these people comparing me to someone else. 

Overall, this was a good time. This book accomplished its goal, which is always satisfying to read. The bulk of this book is a cozy and campy murder-mystery, but the climax is so much more explosive by comparison.
