You know what, I enjoyed it. I loved whatever this book had to offer and I ate it all up. *crunching noise* 80% into it I started thinking... uh, Seokga and Hwanin's dynamic reminds me a bit of Thor and Loki. Seokga especially is so Loki coded which kinda got me into thinking, was this a Lokixsomething fanfic in the beginning or...? I think it's so funny how he's continuously catching strays in this book, everyone just called him a pathetic loser for the attempted coup. Bro, he failed so bad. I also love Hani as a character, she's chaotic and fun and she's matched Seokga's freak.

Anyway, I think the book was good, it was well-written, the lore and the cast of characters are well-liked and felt three dimensional. It does feel a little fanfic-y at times, but if you like that kind of vibe mixed with a little pinch k-drama vibe, then you'll enjoy this book. I saw some criticism about how Hani is not acting menacing / scary enough as a 1700 years old gumiho and personally it didn't bother me. It's just not that serious. And I think the pettiness and the stupidity of Hani and Seokga (yeah sometimes they act like stupid teens when they bicker, but mostly... not?) was fun!! I think the way that the author approached these characters just made sense for me. ALSO! The conflict resolution is SO well done.

Overall I was surprisingly impressed by this book that I just picked up on a random Tuesday. I will definitely pick up the sequel if there's any in the future!! 5/5
