The book was an enjoyable read after the first 100 pages. It took a while to get the plot into motion and then the pacing takes off after the first few chapters. It’s beautifully written even though the translation is clunky. My biggest gripe is the untapped potential for strong character development.

While this is a ghost story with some eerie, sometimes scary moments, this is a sad story of two children at its core (to me).
