Goodreads: Bride of the Water God Volume 3
Mi-Kyung Yun takes us on another journey to Habaek's kingdom, where the cursed Water God tries to hide his dark secrets from his new bride! Humor, drama, and a bit of horror combine, as human bride Soah tries to uncover the truth behind her strange husband's predicament and his previous wife's early, brutal demise. While Huye distracts her with flirtations and the dreadful goddess Murah becomes increasingly jealous, strong-willed Soah is determined to find out why her powerful, moody husband is cursed to live in the form of a little boy during the day, returning to his true, adult body at night. Soah's inner strength and determination saved her village from drought and famine in previous volumes - now she must pit her guts and guile against the unpredictable elemental gods in order to find happiness in the new world she's trapped in.
Review:
The story panel is getting much better, still rocky. In fact, chapter 19 suddenly cuts out in the middle with a whole new story and then cuts back in. It was completely frustrating! If there weren't parts that interested me this is probably a series I would normally drop. However, I want Bride of the Water God to work out soooooo much!
The art is getting more and more constant so that all that's present is lovely artwork. Plus, the plot is finally starting to make this manhwa stand out a bit more. A love square is briefly introduced, and I found it duller then dull.
Now as for Soah? Well she's really grown on me. Some of my friends stated that she's characterless. But I don't think that's true. She's very strong to deal with the issues that have painted her life and she's one tough cookie. She might not be a warrior woman, and yes she went as a sacrifice to the water god, but inner strength doesn't need to be action packed. In her beliefs she thought she was helping those people. Even if she had been sold for the job of bride.
Soah has really grown on me and I'm looking forward to seeing her achieve happiness in this series. The antics of the gods are amusing to watch and I'd like to see what happens with Habaek's (AKA the water god) mother and the Emperor. So I'm seeing it through to the next volume.
Sexual Content: Nothing of note.
2/5- Average/disappointing, library check-out
