Girl of Nightmares by Kendare Blake
3.0
"You always put yourself out there. Hell-bent on ruin."
Girl of Nightmares is the sequel to Anna Dressed in Blood, which I read last year & really enjoyed. Anna Dressed in Blood was more of a horror story, and Girl of Nightmares felt like a fantasy story with horror tones (which is fine; I think I just expected the tone to be more like the first one).
This book has more of a focus on grief, but it was hard to feel sympathetic for Cas after a while. The journey he went on was completely illogical, and I was frustrated by it. He dragged other people into danger for a pointless cause. I can get behind stories if the character's purpose makes sense, but I had a hard time with this one.
There was a creepy scene in a suicide forest that I enjoyed, and I wish there would have been more spooky stuff in Girl of Nightmares. I would love to read another story set in this world one day - it would be really cool to read some novellas or short stories about other ghosts, or from some of the other characters' POVs.
