Enjoyed this a lot although I did not have many hopes. I bought the book because I found it as book deal on kindle.

I am really happy i read it since I learned a lot about old Malaya's culture and history. Also, it was fascinating how the author introduced the reader into the world of the Chinese-Malayan myths about the afterlife.

What I liked most about this book is how beautifully the author describes the sights and culture of Malaya. I remember reading about some food the main character was eating at the party and it made me seriously crave for what she was eating. I do not think this happened in other books I read. She made me see, smell and feel, just like i was there inside the book.

The action flows fast enough not to get bored and there is also a love story. However, the magic of the book is in the worlds the author creates, both of the living and the dead.
