That said, this book is nothing like I expected it to be. It's a glorious, dark fairy tale.
Without giving too much detail...
All the very best villians are somewhat sympathetic.
Also, the idea that souls can get stuck after death, not just because they have unfinished business, BUT ALSO BECAUSE SOMEONE LIVING IS UNABLE TO LET THEM GO ... just, wow. My heart hurts in the best way.
