The Ghost Bride
by Yangsze Choo
A young woman is offered the hand of a ghost--in order to lift her and her family out of poverty. But who killed her suitor in the first place?
A first novel, I think, not terrible, but weirdly plotted. Everything is logical, yet it was hard to feel secure in the author's hands. The twists aren't well set up, it's hard to connect with the ending, and it felt like the genre changed several times. But good characters, great settings, solid writing. I'll probably continue to read the author's books.
Recommended for fantasy fans in search of good settings and YA fans who want engaging characters who don't feel vain and self-centered (ahem).
