It was very interesting book. I absolutely loved the world building. On the literal side, there's so much interesting things going on in the world, and the whole story felt like just one thing going on. On the figurative side, the rules of the ghosts and dead, and the magic, are interesting twists.

The fact that I didn't know anything about Scotland, and the a bunch of the south african devices mentioned, I had to look it up. Apparently there's a Edinburgh in South Africa. I spent most of the book being sure but not sure where it was set. It was so much fun.

I loved the characters and the overall setting.
That being said, the writing style wasn't fully my style so i can't give it a full 5 stars.
I'm excited to see what happens next though.
