4.5 stars. ARC through NetGalley; set to release June 4, 2024.
I immensely enjoyed this! The synopsis mentioned that it was like a KDrama and I felt the writing captured that feeling very well. Some of the moments were silly but fit well into the world. I thought the author did a great job interweaving horror elements into an otherwise lighthearted in tone narrative.
It was cool to get a glimpse of Korean mythology and get a new take on urban fantasy.
I did think that it was a touch too long but the ending was really good which earned it that half-star.
