Estuve intentando posponer el libro porque me intimidaba. Así que lo evité una banda de tiempo
GRAN ERROR

In my journey to eventually read all of V.E. Schwab's books, this book was absolutely a delight! I loved the way ghosts were re-imagined in this book, and Cass and Jacob's friendship was probably one of my favorite aspects of the book. The fact that Cass's parents are ghost hunters but her dad doesn't believe Cass can see ghosts just adds a fun twist on the whole story.
There's so much you can do with this concept, and I'm excited to see where the series goes next! I checked this out to read in the Halloween season, which we are passed now, but it fit the current weather here, so that's fine with me too. Also, the fact that Schwab can write for any audience is a feat in and of itself and I'm just in awe of her writing skill!

"So this is Scotland, I think. How haunted can it be?"
This book is for you if... you want an easy to read ghost story.
City of Ghosts was definitely enjoyable, but felt rather slow to me. I think the first half of the book just had me waiting for actual content but then the second half was packed full and almost felt like it wasn't giving enough.
I will say 100% young readers will adore this, if you're looking for a ghost book for a sibling, a child, ect... this is such a good one. Victoria Schwab does an outstanding job at making this book for the age it was intended for(I am not part of this age range), and I could see this being in many teachers classrooms. I think for me personally the second book will be better as I tend to prefer the second books of series’s, because we've gotten though the world building and the explaining of things so we get so much more action.
I don't really have any complaints except the pacing and just that I found all the explanations of things boring. Jacob was a shinning star of this book, and I honestly could've hated everything else about this book but would want keep reading the series for him, and I have no idea why. He's just great!

I'm intrigued for the next book.
