[Review] Small Gods of Calamity by Sam Kyung Yoo

This book was an intriguing combination of a crime thriller and a ghost story. Dark and gritty. I was excited by the Korean setting and the ensuing cultural references, particularly those of Korean shamanism.

I did find the prose to be a bit clunky and/or basic at times. And the pacing was slow at the start. But by the end I was intrigued, and the ending even brought a tear to my eye.

Note: I received this book as an ARC. It is scheduled to be released March 4, 2024.

4 stars
