-1 star for the aud obook narrator, I have a feeling they were cast for their abil ty to pronounce all of the Vietnamese words (great!) BUT the performance otherwise has huge areas for improvement. For example all of the characters in dialogue have the same speed, intonation, accent, etc so it can be very hard to follow how is talking. Similarly, all of the dramatic and tense or horrific moments often seemed to be delivered alongside mundane prose and with both receiving equal fanfare it can be kind of tough to follow, I frequently needed to rewind 3-5 times to follow exactly what happened
Ok bad things list ends there! The book itself feels like it is way better enjoyed as a read than a listen, and I recommended to my partner who loves haunted house stories. The layering of different types of horror were all fantastic, and while the plot wasn't always perfect, it's definitely a great read for any horror fan

Loved this setting and the writing had real moments of striking beauty, but my main issue is that a good finale and a couple of writing high points can’t quite outweigh the slow, confused path we took to get there.
