Honestly? This was just what I needed to get out of a reading slump. This is sheer entertainment mixed with the perfect amount of angst and mystery! 

While it initially took me some time to stop missing Hani (her banter and mischievous side was so fun!), I was eventually won over by our scholarly Kisa. I think Sophie handled this development really well, and was able to use the reincarnation twist as a way to delve more into Seokga’s character beautifully. My heart! This trickster god really goes through it after Hani’s death, but it becomes clear how necessary that was to carve a path to his future. 

Everything I enjoyed in the first book was here, but with more impact. Sophie’s comedic timing with dialogue has come such a long way, I was in equal turns laughing and making pained “aww!’s” throughout the entire book. This was a perfect balance of lighthearted fun and tension. No one was neglected in this story, with both new side characters and returning faces all getting satisfying development. In conclusion, I admire Sophie's growth as a writer and look forward to whatever she writes next!

Also, if we could PLEASE get a k-drama adaptation of these books, that would be EVERYTHING
