Looking forward to this one! I think it will slide in perfectly when I’m finished with my current book.

Starting chapter 3. I like the story so far and the fantasy element from it.

(view spoiler)[wonder if Shane could call dinosaur or sabertooth ghosts. Like how far in the past she could reach? (hide spoiler)]

I'm about half-way through Chapter 4 ATM.

I'm really enjoying it. Silvana, have you read Elatsoe yet? You don't have to have, because there's no continuity really, but I wonder if Little Badger didn't explain the world and the characters a little more/better in Elatsoe and you are kind of expected to know who these people are. It probably doesn't matter at all, though. I think Shane is Elatsoe's grandmother and the ability to call animal ghosts is handed down maternally.

Re: the spoiler: (view spoiler)[You find out it Elatsoe. (hide spoiler)]

I haven't read Elatsoe, was planning to do that before this but did not have the chance. I will make sure I read it after ;)

Starting chapter 10.

(view spoiler)[So Elatsoe was also the name of an ancestor. They talked about raising dinosaur ghosts but not conclusive...

It is an interesting world with faeries and stuff but somehow all I want now is some human ghosts haha (hide spoiler)]

I've been reading this too, as I have an ARC and want to get a review posted by the release date. I'm at ~90%. The page count I think is similar to Elatsoe, but this is feeling shorter - (view spoiler)[maybe because the main storyline seems more straightforward, with less mystery elements. (hide spoiler)]

[Silvana]

I finished this and forgot to post!

I really liked the voice. and the writing. It flows easily, although sometimes when I wanted the plot to move along but the sidetrackings (usually in the form of reminiscence) were quite enjoyable. and glad (view spoiler)[the fae stuff were not too much.I however kinda wish we saw some human ghosts, even though the Shell Girl's well appearance was scary - reminded me of Sadako in The Ring, bloody hell. (hide spoiler)]

I will defiitely read Elatsoe.
