I had completely forgotten about Funeral Games until I received a friendly reminder, but I was so glad that I read it then because I can honestly say I haven't read anything like it before or since. I read it during the flights to and from a conference, but my mind might have been in attendance for more time.
The world is quite unique. The noble elite consists of people who stay after they're dead to haunt the world. This has evolved in entire parts of the castles being build to accommodate the ever expanding family. Since the world is basically ruled by the dead and dying has little consequences kings and their wives often commit suicide to big applause from the living and dead relatives. Things go awry when the king, during one of these ceremonies doesn't awake as a ghost.
Really interesting read. I liked the world a lot, and wouldn't mind to read more about it.
Thanks to the publisher for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!
