⛔ SPOLIERS AHEAD ⛔
I really wanted to love this book but I think I knew all along that it would never be as good as the first, especially since The God and the Gumiho ends in such a way that it could really just be a standalone. I understand what the author was trying to do with the reincarnation but honestly, when someone who is reincarnated is NOT the previous person at all and will never be, no memories of their former life, no similar traits to who they were, are they even reincarnated?? Because I just felt like this was a completely different fmc and that was so weird. The plot could have been better too but I did enjoy it for the most part. I think that had this been a book on its own, with new characters, I would have loved it alot more than what I did. Still, I love Kim's writing through both books so much.
