I have mixed feelings about this one. It is very well written. The story and the melancholy atmosphere really captured my attention.
The many perspectives make the plot a little hard to follow. All the characters are quite similar. The ending is a bit abrupt and we don't get to be there with the characters for the big revelations - something I find especially frustrating in a book this long.
The mysterious and ghostly parts work really well here. There was potential for a tighter, better story!
