Review: Among Ghosts

Among Ghosts by Rachel Hartman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

St. Muckle may be out of the way, but anyone can earn their freedom by living there for a year and a day.   Charl and his mom have been there for seven years when Charl sees a ghost.  That event is only the beginning when there is a murder, a plague, and a dragon!    Charl gets away from the dragon but ends up at an abandoned abbey with terrors of its own.  What truths will Charl learn from his experience?  Will he make it out of these events with his life?

Among Ghosts is a stand-alone fantasy novel that is set in the world of Seraphina.  Readers do not need to have read the original story to understand the events of this book, yet those that do will find correlations.  This story had fantasy and adventure with a young man discovering who he is and who he wants to be.  I wanted to love this book because I loved the original series, but this story just couldn’t keep my attention.  Among Ghosts will please some, but not all readers.
