lcmilewski 's review for:

The Ghost Bride by Yangsze Choo
4.0

I checked The Ghost Bride out from the library as part of my annual October ghost/supernatural/horror stories batch of books. The setting of colonial Malaya (now Malaysia) was vibrant and interesting since I knew nothing about it before starting the book. Choo does a good job of making the setting come alive without feeling like it's extra exposition for exposition's sake. The novel drags at a few points and there are a couple of plot points that were a little confusing to me, but overall I found this book entertaining. A good read for any time of the year, but especially good if you want a different sort of ghost story.
