Let the fun times roll!

This was a wild and hilarious ride! You have one semi reformed gumiho who usually doesn't do more that antagonize one fallen trickster god, at least not till a group of guys tries to attack her late one night. I believe Hani is fully in the right in disposing those jerks and it was just bad timing that a powerful demon escaped and is out for blood, specifically Seokga who had been thrown down to the mortal world after a failed coup attempt along with the army he had raised. Despite being immortal, both of them learned to become more mature and less self centered in this mess of trying to find both the demon and the awful Scarlet Fox. Since Hami is the Scarlet Fox, this leads to lots of hilarity amid the death and darkness that the other demon is causing to turn the mortal world into a Dark world full of the most unruly of creatures. Yes, there is also sadness but when you put a fox and a trickster god together in a partnership there are also plenty of laugh out loud moments ( especially concerning the particulars of a perfect cup of coffee). The biggest issue does get solved by the end but left open enough that there will be more books in the series and I am very much looking forward to that! The ending had strong Goblin: The Great and Lonely God. It was bittersweet but hopeful. Such a fun book and I am glad I got the chance to read it!
