The Girl from the Well by Rin Chupeco
dark
mysterious
3.5
It started out strong, but I feel like the last quarter or so wasn't as engaging. I also think I might have liked it better if it went harder on the darker side of the story. Or maybe the story of Okiku is much more interesting than the one of... basically everyone else, even the big bad other ghost.
Okiku and Callie are the most interesting characters in the story, and sometimes it felt like there was much space made for others that wasn't necessary, or maybe it was a bit awkward or felt like it was utilitary.
But it's still a very solid debut and I will definitely read more from this author. I liked the way they played with the layout of the text and the intrusive voices from the spirits now and then.
