When I was reading the synopsis of Old Souls I was immediately intrigue and the story itself is full of mysteries.In Old Souls, Issai was the first Old Soul to be introduced. An Old Soul is someone who has been reborn many times and their memory from their previous life is kept intact. In Issai's journey he meets with another Old Soul like himself named Hahri who is the complete opposite of him (in terms of personality). But because of their meeting it seemed that they have to journey together in order to find the answers they are looking for.The start may have seemed so slow but the pace was immediately picked up. It was page turner for me because it gets interesting along the way. I really like the both Issai and Hahri and despite being different their differences actually complements them. They have formed a sort of friendship along their journey together as they look for the answers they are seeking and at the same time avoiding the Shi who are after them.When Issai and Hahri connected they experienced something like never before and in doing so they learned that there are two more old souls like them and that is where their journey begins. It is like an impulse for them especially towards Hahri who needed to go where his feelings are telling him to.I really like the world building of the story at the same time it frustrates me because you still wouldn't know the reason to why there are like that and what it have to do with the Gods. The part where they met another Old Soul named Korin gets to be more interesting but every time it gets to the good part there always seem to be something hindering them which make it more intriguing.The relationship between these two boys grew and it was a good influence for Issai since he's personality is more of a loner but thanks to Hahri he changed along the way. Even he admitted (missing Hahri but not in those words), near the ending where he thought they were both going to die again.And another mystery is the girl who is also an Old Soul and a Shi named Soujin.The ending was a major cliffhanger and I am so going to get the next book.*COPY*
