Wow, that was... not what I was expecting. Especially since this is classified as YA, which I think almost does it a disservice. It is a quiet, brutal story about a girl who destroys (or does she?) ghosts, supposedly at the behest of a mysterious deity

that may or may not be just some BS dreamed up by a man. Aren't they all.

The writing is fairly sparse and yet conveys such incredible detail and imagery; the characters are well conceptualized and believable; and the story never really felt like it was trying to do too much but only just enough (if that makes sense?). Definitely a good fit for the post-apoc fans and those who don't mind a decently dark, unflinching tale about a girl's quest for autonomy and answers.
