Black Water Sister by Zen Cho
3.0

I should have really enjoyed this. Supernatural, myth, ghosts and spirits and possession. But for a reason I cannot put my finger on, I didn't massively enjoy this.

I found the language quite challenging, the switching in and out of different languages. I found the plot a bit hard to follow and not particularly interesting. I wasn't that bothered by any of the characters - I didn't feel sold on any of them.

It's not a terrible novel, by any means, but it didn't quite have the hook for me, so I think I made less effort and made it worse for myself.
