Thanks to NetGalley and Feiwel & Friends for an advanced copy of The Floating World by Axie Oh to review! I have thoroughly enjoyed Axie Oh’s fantasy before, and this reading experience was no different. Oh is great at weaving in the details of the world, immersing you in magic, mythology, with a touch of romance.
The pacing of the plot also works well, moving at a pace that keeps you engaged with plenty of action. But we don’t sacrifice the characters to the plot. Sunho and Ren have great chemistry, and I enjoyed the unraveling mystery of both of their pasts. There’s plenty to still explore in book two, and I’m excited to see what comes next!
All in all, if you like mythology-inspired fantasy and lots of action with great characters, definitely check this one out when it comes out in April!
