A review by minibarryboi
The God and the Gwisin by Sophie Kim

4.0

Seven years after the Red Thread of Fate appeared, Seokga is tired. After traveling to every continent in search of Hani, the lonely god has finally reached a breaking point. At the request of his therapist, Seokga, aling with his therapist and his brother, the Heavenly Emperor, board a cruiseship in the underworld in hopes of a relaxing week away.

Once on board, Seokga finds the Thread of Fate alerting him of his lost love. Desperate to find her, he searches the cruise until he meets Yoo Kisa, Hani's reincarnated. Although Seokga knew not to expect Hani, or even for her to have retained her memories, he is more shocked to find Kisa is a gwisin (ghost) who lost her life in a tragic incident years prior.

While Seokga and Kisa try to figure out their threaded fate, tragedy strikes the cruise liner, leading Seokga and Kisa to unravel the mysteries around them.


I loved coming back to Seokga and Kisa's(Hani) world. I missed the grumpy god and the smart and witty woman who knows who to steal his heart. The banter was bantering, and the love was sweet and kind. The duology wraps up beautifully, and I love knowing Kisa and Seokga are finally at peace and happy.

Thank you to Del Ray and NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review!
