ginpomelo 's review for:

The Girl from the Well by Rin Chupeco
2.0
dark sad tense medium-paced
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

  • Spirit-haunting storyline that evolves into a travel  / exorcism quest. Borrows heavily from elements of Japanese folklore but not Own Voices.
  • Some interesting elements but unfortunately didn't give me the atmospheric spooks that I was expecting. There's a tad too much over-explanation for the rules of the lore. 
  • I like that the driving character dynamics involves young cousins who are loyal to each other + a sort of reformed avenging ghost.
