i liked sam j miller's writing, and the characters were good as well! the setting was also ...cool is the wrong word, and i don't want to repeat good again, but it was ..maybe strong is the right word? immersive?
the story was sometimes rather confusing — im not really sure what anyone's plan ever was, and im not sure what was ever up with the ghosts either, like how did they work? and for this being in the horror section at the bookstore it was disappointingly not very Horror. i thought. but i enjoyed it enough anyway! i like blackfish city better but this was still good
