This was an impulse pick up from the Library and it was worth it. A fascinating concept and I wish the lore was explained more, although it fits the vibes for it to remain a little ungraspable. The ghosts weren't in this as much as you'd think they'd be, but when they're there, they were written in an enthralling and lyrical way. The past could have woven through a bit more to give us more backstory about the ghosts because they became very secondary by the end of the book. The main appeal of this book is the bond between Katerina and Stefan, and I'm glad the book spend a long rim building that up.
