I didn’t think I would like this book nearly as much as the first one. After all, how could I move on from Hani, the sassy, rebellious, morally gray gumiho that thawed a god’s cold heart? 

But oh how I loved this one, just as much (if not more) than the first.

No, I’ll admit I love it more. I couldn’t get enough of lovesick, “touch her and die” Seokga. My favorite trope are men obsessed with their women, and Seokga was down bad for Hani and Kisa.

Plus I love how it explored the relationship further between Somi and Hani/Kisa. 

I could tell that every aspect of this duology was well planned. The symmetry between the stories of Hani and Kisa were artfully done. And that ending??

Who doesn’t want to live in a magical library forever with a devoted god of trickery??


I have so many more thoughts. I just thoroughly enjoyed these books.
