anachronistique 's review for:

Black Water Sister by Zen Cho

---

I really enjoyed this. I appreciate that it felt different from a standard ghost story, and that it didn't spend too much time bogged down in the protagonist questioning their sanity or having it questioned by everyone around them. The setting is vividly portrayed and while Jess was sometimes frustratingly naive she was also stubborn and resourceful and entertaining to ride along with. The author is a friend of friends, which is why I usually check out her works, but this one was well worth the time.
