good:

It was very entertaining. The charecters were almost real, and very visual. The setting is so unique because it is 300 years back in time, but it is a ghost story. It is almost like the ghosts are actually living people.

weaknesses:

This book is kind of short. The ending disappointed me a little. But over all it was a good book!
