Sparrow Hill Road by Seanan McGuire

5.0

I loved this book. Seanan McGuire does a lovely job of building a fascinating world and creating her own mythos. It is the story of a young woman named Rose's, death and the ghostly exploits that turn her into an Urban Legend, told from her POV in a series of short stories. They were published individually first, but McGuire does in my opinion, a good job, of connecting them into short story arcs with similar themes or characters. This is the first and the best of the Ghost Roads series. Pick it up if you like her Wayward Children series, myths, ghosts, a strong female POV who doesn't take bullshit and have a sense of humor. The magic is interesting: the series has a group of nomadic magic users who gain power from the miles they travel; and the things that are loved in life leave a ghost, from people to cars even a whole highway.

It deserves more recognition!
