I’m so conflicted about this. Is it problematic or is it just a word, because this is completely paranormal/fantastical setting. Yes, I don’t know what to do about the word gypsy. Because it feels like it could be just replaced by a new species/name of a subgroup of human-like people and contextually book wouldn’t even change.

Otherwise it is a perfectly funny, but perplexing bit of fiction. There’s the standard ghostly sassy girl, who’s mostly unhinged. There’s Violet who’s still very mysterious by the end of the book even to readers, but even more so to other characters. The men are squabbling chickens, don’t mistake me - it is fun, but sometimes it’s a bit much. 

And Ace is by far the most enjoyable, even while encompassing the biggest plot twist (though it can be caught beforehand if you’re really observant).
