This boy just wants to be left alone for once. Whoever could tell that part of the story the best at that time was given the microphone, so to speak.
I also liked how the POVs were not only Junu’s and Somin’s, as the chapters sometimes rotated with Miyoung and Jihoon. It was nice seeming more attention on Somin, since I barely remembered her from the last book (then again, I did read Wicked Fox about a year ago).
However, Vicious Spirits mostly follows Junu (the handsome dokkaebi) and Somin, who is Jihoon’s best friend. A rip between the worlds of the living and of the dead was created because of Miyoung’s yeowu guseul (bead) bead that hovers in the “Between” (she’s not quite a gumiho anymore but she isn’t fully human either). To say the least, Vicious Spirits, the companion to Wicked Fox, is a very very appropriate title. For me, I want to enforce for myself that 3🌟 means that I enjoyed it, but there wasn’t a ton that made it very memorable. I’ve become more picky about rating books 5🌟, but I’ve also been re-evaluating what a 4🌟 book, in my eyes, looks like because 3🌟 is technically a fair rating. I would like to start off by saying that I’ve been trying to read with a balance of enjoyment and a critical lens. With few options remaining, Junu has an idea but it might require the ultimate sacrifice and, let’s be honest, Junu isn’t known for his “generosity.” Meanwhile, the events at the end of Wicked Fox have upended the forces that govern life and death and there are supernatural entities lurking in the background that will stop at nothing to right their world. But Miyoung is getting sicker and sicker by the day and her friends don’t know how to save her. With the support of their friend Somin, and their frenemy, Junu, they might just have a shot at normalcy.
New romance and dangers abound in this companion to the crowd-pleasing Wicked Fox.Īs Vicious Spirits begins, Miyoung and Jihoon are picking up the pieces of their broken lives following the deaths of Miyoung’s mother, Yena, and Jihoon’s grandmother. *Note: I received an e-ARC of this title from the publisher/Netgalley in exchange for an honest review SUMMARY (from Goodreads) Putnam’s Sons for Young Readers (Penguin Teen)Ĭontent Warnings: death of a parent, abusive family/family member, violence, blood
