The God and the Gumiho

She threw coffee at him and I love her for that

Bewertet: Buch (Gebundene Ausgabe)

After reading the first few pages, I knew that I would love it. Hani is a hilarious Female Lead. She's the "Scarlet Fox", a Gumiho so evil that she became legendary - and she ate too many human souls and livers, so now she can't eat any more. Girl is stuffed. And so very fed up with the Male Lead, Seokga, whom she has to serve coffee because yeah, she's an evil mystical creature, but she does need the money! Rent is due! Seokga is also hilarious, but in the opposite way of Hani. After not quiet managing to overthrow his brothers celestial kingdom, he is forced to kill all the demons (20.000) that he brought for his little coup d'etat. They fled to the human realm though, so that's where he's been for the past few centuries. The book is written in both of the lead's POV's, which I am usually not a fan of, but liked in this case. Both Leads are very enjoyable and there hatred foreach other was perfect! What I didn't like is that there was no glossary. This book would really have been better with one. I knew what a Gumiho was, but other creatures from korean legends or religion I had no clue of. Not even how to pronounce them, which really put a bit of a bummer in my joy of reading. I do like to know how to pronounce things, but google really wasn't much of a help here.
