Rezension von simply_yThere's K-Drama where you think "just one more episode"–and oopsie, it's 4 a.m.. This book is like that. And although Seokga isn't as tricky, mischievous as he should be due to trauma, I still love his emotional progress. The two of them just have that bantery flirtatious way which connects with my satisfaction. Just learned that there is a vol. 2! Never ordered a book that fast.
Rezension von LauraThe God and the Gumiho ist ein südkoreanisches Urban-Fantasy-Juwel voller Götter, mythischer Wesen und Kirschblüten-Vibes 🌸. Die selbstbewusste Protagonistin Hani trifft auf einen anfangs mysteriösen, gefallenen Gott, dessen Entwicklung unglaublich zufriedenstellend ist. Mit einer Mischung aus „Good Cop, Bad Cop“-Missionen, Lügen, Freundschaften und Slow Burn hält die Story konstant fesselnd. Zum Ende hin wird es dramatisch und emotional, und der rote Schicksalsfaden ist so perfekt gewebt, dass ich Band 2 fast gar nicht mehr brauche.
Rezension von FabiYes, well maybe? Ganz großes Plus ist die koreanische Mythologie. Loved it! Seokga ist mir ein bisschen zu grumpy dafür, dass er ja eigentlich ein Trickster God ist. Und die Romance fühlt sich für mich ein bisschen überstürzt an. Irgendwie kam den Punkt, an dem die beiden sich mögen dann so plötzlich, dass es mir gar nicht richtig Zeit zum mitfiebern gegeben hat. Der Plot war vorausschaubar, aber unterhaltsam. Hatte wahrscheinlich einfach ein bisschen zu hohe Erwartungen...
Rezension von Anna4,25-4,5 / 5 Somehow, judging by the cover (which is just really a 10/10 cover), I expected something very different, but I have to say this was way better than anything I could have expected! Let me tell you, Hani and Seokga are kind of the best! Seokga, especially in the beginning, gave me old-50+ year old-grumpy-I am *done* with this-man vibes and the funny thing about this is, that the more the book progresses, the younger he suddenly becomes. But the star of the book was definitely Hani. She was funny, she was caring and she made sure to annoy the shit out of Seokga whenever she could. Gotta enjoy the little things in life. If you enjoy TV shows like Castle, The Mentalist, Sherlock and the like, you will have a blast reading about these two. The banter, the sarcasm and the way they treat each other is very much like the earlier and better seasons of those shows. And all of it sprinkled with korean culture and pop culture references makes it just all even better. I saw people comparing it to K-Dramas and maybe I’m just really out of the loop here (haven’t watched one in 2 or 3 years) but the only K-Drama-esque resemblance I saw was the more than average coffee consumption. The writing was super fun (like, literally funny) and very complementing to the characters’ personalities and story. I think the only issue/critique I have with this book is that it takes place over a span of I think two-ish weeks. If those were maybe 3 or 4 months, I think I would have found myself a taaaaad more invested, because it would just have made more sense to me in terms of the development of the romance. There is basically an open ending which is unfair because my heart can’t handle stuff like this (I obviously shed a tear. Maybe two. Or more). I need book 2 ASAP pls. Thank you to Hodderscape for providing this book for review via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
