1.5

I’m giving the point 5 extra because I believe in the concept of this story but overall it wasn’t great.  To start, there were typos which disrupted the flow of the read. So much could have happened if the characters were better explained, if they took the time for suspense building and if the author built a stronger plot.  I agree with another critique that the author did not properly contextualize the yokai for those who don’t know about it.  I would try another book from this author just because I liked the concept but it needed so much more.
