The Ghost Manuscript by Kris Frieswick

3.0

Thank you so much to Netgalley for letting me review this book. Spoilers ahead! This book started out GOOD. Solid. Fun. Interesting. Definitely a new take on a fascinating legend. But the end was extremely disappointing. I definitely prefer things to be wrapped up in a neat little bow, but I can enjoy them even when they aren’t. This ending however was very upsetting. I read a whole book for very little reward at the end. Almost important and likeable characters die and the bad guy basically gets away with it. It just felt like a giant let down. For me Carys deserves more. Even finding the burial site wasn’t exciting because of everything that happened right after. Up until the twist at the end, I loved the book. But the ending was too disappointing to me.
