I picked up this book because of its summary, it was great getting to explore a new place that isn't a common setting for fantasy novels in mainstream media, I enjoyed the plot and the setting but I wasn't really interested in the main character until I was 2 thirds of the book through, all in all it was a fun time and a solid read.

The story is good but theres something missing from it i can't really explain it, personally i didnt really like tye writing style cuz it made the story confusing sometimes. Overall i would recommend to someone who is into ghosts and mythology and all that
