Strnad reviewed Child of the Ghosts by Jonathan Moeller
Good for a fun read
3 stars
I enjoyed this book, and if I find a good deal on the sequels, will try to read those.
...But it was a fun read more than a good read. The more I think about the book, the more things bug me. Caira is too good at everything - I'm not sure the book shows her mess up badly. There's a number of repetitive phrases, and I think it would have benefited from not including the big villian's POV chapters.
Some questions I ask myself after any book: * Could the problem be solved by the main characters sitting down and talking like reasonable people? Nope * Does the main character make mistakes? ...She thinks she does. I'm not convinced.
