ruthmoog's review against another edition

inspiring
medium-paced
4.0
This is written in dual perspective, which I didn't enjoy at first, so it was a slow starter for me, but as the stories started to come together it wasn't as jarring to shift perspective.
The origin and mythology of the stories the book is based on were unknown to me, and I liked learning a little about the spirit realm and it's spirits.
There is a theme of speaking to elders, or rather listening respectfully to them throughout - and in all cases in the story the elders are worthy of that respect.
The descriptions of the characters physical traits were lovely and tactile. Nina's use of social media was clever also, and felt realistic.
Why she didn't read the contract though, SO FRUSTRATING!!
