it was amazing

This was a beautifully written and touching novel. Fans of Peony in Love or Hayao Miyazaki's film Spirited Away will not be disappointed. The heroine of this story grows from a demure and spoiled girl into a confident and courageous woman. The world that Yangsze Choo creates is fantastic, more so because they reflect actual beliefs about the afterlife. This book has romance, terror, adventure and even some humor thrown in too. Ghost Bride earned every one of its stars

Mark Milton Really enjoy Miyazaki films but this book was slow and painful at time, I didn't develop any sympathy for the main character Li Lan and if she grew it wasn't until I stopped caring to be honest. there was no wrap up of the characters just an abandonment to be with the stranger she hardly knew but had rescued her.

Melissa Yes! I was reminded of Spirited away also, as if Ahrundhati Roy & Neil Gaiman got together and decided to tell a story.
