Critics Review
Praise for Gods & Comics:
★ “Cho seamlessly weaves elements of historical Korean myth into contemporary settings and action-packed sequences. Human issues of racial microaggressions, grief, and anxiety take center stage amid godly conflicts, making for a fresh and richly layered K-drama-esque romantasy.”—Publisher’s Weekly, starred review
“A fast-paced romantasy rooted in Korean mythology…the fantasy elements shine…realistic themes of grief, anxiety, and micro-aggressions…dealt with…in a powerful way.—School Library Journal
“Cho deftly blends the craft of comic creation with…a contemporary tale of a teen… navigating grief and crippling anxiety…Framed around Korean culture, Cho’s story highlights mental health and the pressures teens place on themselves, along with those they feel from others. Urban fantasy fans will enjoy the magic system and lore, while readers who enjoy contemporary stories could use this as a gateway to lighter fantastical elements.”—Booklist
About The Author
Kat Cho
Kat Cho used to hide books under the bathroom sink and then sneak in there to read after bedtime. Her parents pretended not to know. This was helpful when she decided to write a dinosaur time-travel novel at the tender age of nine. Sadly, that book was not published. She currently lives in New York City and spends her free time trying to figure out what kind of puppy to adopt. Kat is the New York Times and international bestselling author of the Gumiho duology and Once Upon a K-Prom.
