I would like to thank the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to read and honestly review an advanced reader’s copy of this book.

I’ve been quite burned out by Asian Fantasy lately - I’ve just read too much of it. So when I got this ARC I was worried I wouldn’t enjoy it. Thankfully, that wasn’t the case.

Sophie Kim doesn’t go in hard with the world building; nothing is overly complicated or over explained. I sometimes struggle when I’m given pages and pages of sense world building. The mythology and structure behind this world is simple and straight forward. It’s a simple backdrop for honestly fantastic characters.

Witty and sarcastic Fox Demon vs a grumpy Fallen God, solving mysteries together. Forced proximity making them fall in love despite constantly annoying each other. These characters are so vibrant and their journey through this world felt well paced, and kept me glued to the digital page.

I loved this. I think I needed this to get me out of this slump. Easy 4.5 stars, rounding it up to 5 because I’m just so fond of these characters.
