Paul Kater reviewed Guai qi gu er yuan by Ransom Riggs (Myst -- 014)
Review of 'Guai qi gu er yuan' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
A peculiar book. Very much so. At first I found the book was very slow in picking up speed. Perhaps it was necessary to solidify the background of the main story but I feel it could have been done a bit quicker considering it’s not a very long story. That’s why I cut off half a star.
All in all however it was a very interesting and engaging story, painting a remarkable (peculiar) world inside our world. An enjoyable read for certain.
