Myth, Mystery & Magic Done Perfectly

This book was such a fantastic read. The blend of mythology, romance, and mystery was just so well done. I loved the concept of a cruise down the river of the dead, and if you have worked in any service type industry you will know what a punishment that is! The world-building felt rich without being overwhelming, and I was completely drawn in from the first chapter.

Seokga’s search for his reincarnated love had so much emotional weight, and Kisa was such a strong, grounded character. Their dynamic had the perfect amount of tension, heartache, and slow-burn connection. I really appreciated how layered their relationship was—it made their journey feel all the more real.

The murder mystery plot added great momentum, and the twists genuinely surprised me. Everything tied together in a really satisfying way by the end. And the mythology? Absolutely stunning—woven through the story in a way that felt natural and meaningful.

If you're into character-driven fantasy with a strong mythological thread and just the right amount of romance and suspense, I highly recommend this one. It’s one of those stories that sticks with you long after you finish.
