I’m not the target audience for this — my kid told me to read it so I did.

It’s a good story, kind of a Final Destination-style curse with a whole bunch of extra supernatural stuff. It’s a strangely complicated setup, and probably 100 pages longer than it needed to be.

The writing is where I got irritated though, and I don’t know whether it’s the translation as some reviews claim, but the inner monologues of the narrator was repetitive and irritating to the point that I was skipping whole pages.

The last 75 pages were great though, and earned back a lot of goodwill.
