I'm really beginning to think Sanderson is one of those authors that just can do no wrong. The easy by which he creates new worlds and flushes out characters (even seemingly stereotypical ones) all while defining new magic rules (and these are more like supernatural rules, I guess) is just simply astounding.

Not a long read, but a damned fine one.

A fairly conventional plot, but well written, and the audio narration is good.

A nice dark story filled with dangerous ghosts that makes almost any action through the night filled with tension. Let alone the undertaking this middle aged woman is set upon to keep her family safe.
