kfanni28 's review for:
Ghost Wood Song
by Erica Waters
I've finished this days ago but I was a bit bummed out.
I just aced my final exam (I'm saying that but the point still hasn't gone through. What do you do except studying? Asking for a friend.)
For like the first third of this book I was so on board. I loved the athmosphere, the audiobook narration was interesting to me, it was very emotional. I loved seeing this girl whose music was part of her personality, I love the concept of using this art as coping with grief.
- I'm only going to write about the characterisation of the MC, because that's what made this experience sour for me. -
She quickly became a terribly reckless person though. She grew so irresponsible. Flawed characters make for interesting stories, but this was too much (for me). The peak of this being when she stopped caring about what every single person (all her loved ones) said about her putting all of them in danger. The only thing she cared about truly was finding out the truth about what happened in her family that made them all so "messed up".
I know, grief and magic consumed her and drove her kind of mad, and the things she does probably seemed like the only option she had. Never listening to the people she says she cares about, especially putting them in danger and causing them trauma, well, I just can't root for that character. I wished most of her friends would just stay away from her because they seemed nice, at least.
