Ghost Wood Song
by Erica Waters
Ghost wood song is a story of grief, heritage and hidden family history. Lead by its characters and their will, it starts slowly to put the scene of the novel into place, to immerse us into this very peculiar family, and this very peculiar kind-of-magic system. I am not against a slow start when what follows can keep it up and catch my attention. It this one, that is not what happened to me. For the first half of the book, I didn’t want to DNF this book for the simple reason that, some times, something amazing can happen as the midpoint of a story. Something did happen here, but it was way too predictable for me. I was expecting some chocking events, anything that could show me I’ve been misled all this time, but that never happened. I feel like my read of the second half of the book was just about giving it another chance, over and over again.
This is a novel in which I would have expected the author to take a little more risks, but there is something I can’t keep from the story: the love triangle is daring. I didn’t like the way it’s built or the way it evolves, but it is rare to see a character torn between their love for a woman, and their love for a man. I found this part very interesting indeed, but once again it did not reach my expectations. I am nonetheless going, to be honest with you: I don’t like love triangles in general, so there was little chance it would change now. Even though I would have loved it, for the genders of the characters.
