(Originally posted on kaleyconnell.wordpress.com)The story is fast paced, funny, a little scary, and sweet: all the makings of a good middle grade book. Cassidy is a strong willed female character--and self-proclaimed Gryffindor--with a whole lot of curiosity and even more love to give. She was easy to relate to despite the fact I'm a much older reader than what this book is 'technically' intended for. Her co-star, Jacob, was also a character that was easy to get behind, with his funny quirks and sense of humor.The book as a whole is an easy and fun read. The pace of the story makes sure that things are always happening while also giving readers time to digest the content. As an older reader, I felt like there was too much happening too quickly in terms of time in the context of the story, but for younger readers I think this is just right. The story also has some 'scary' parts, but nothing that should keep middle school kids up at night if that's a concern.I think my biggest complaint for City of Ghosts is that character development just felt to be really lacking, although given the fact that the book seemingly takes place over three or four days, it's a middle grade book, and (I think) it's supposed to be a series, this isn't a surprise. But it's also not a deal breaker when debating on whether or not the book worth the purchase. I would definitely recommend City of Ghosts to others. Maybe not friends who don't share a passion for MG books or Victoria Schwab herself, but definitely for those who do, as well as anyone with a child(ren) in the marketed age range.In conclusion: if you like Victoria Schwab, if you like MG books, and/or if you know someone between the ages of 10 and 14, go pick up a copy. It's a fun read, and with Halloween steadily creeping up on us, is a great choice for anyone who likes to think there might be something more to our world.
"Ghost watching is a two person sport."4.5 STARSTW: death (including child and animal death, but not in graphic detail; it's ghosts, comes with the territory)Going into this, I knew City of Ghosts wasn't going to be my all time favorite Schwab book. It's a middle grade book, and I'm not the target audience. Simple as that, and not a judgment on the quality of the book. That also means the one star I took away was because I felt it was missing something and didn't enjoy it as much as I might have if it had had that extra something. A half star off for me not being as invested as I could have been is pretty great, especially considering that I loved the rest of it.It feels exactly like a middle grade novel about ghosts should. It's brisk, filled with recognizable references to comics and Harry Potter that an MG audience will have no trouble picking up on (and will probably be excited by), and best of all, it's COZY. You wouldn't necessarily expect a book about a drowned girl and her best ghost friend to be so cozy, but honestly, it's delightful and makes for a perfect autumn read despite the summer setting. You can thank the Edinburgh weather for that.And oh my gosh, I loved the characters. I loved the way Jacob and Cass interacted, the way Lara slowly got pulled into the fold, the little quirks of some of the minor characters like Findlay, the lore behind the big bad.Incidentally, I believe I saw on V's Twitter that all the ghost stories of Edinburgh in this book besides the big bad are all based on real stories! I love that so much, because it really grounds this story in a way that's a little hard to do when you're writing about a girl who can see ghosts and pass beyond the Veil. Seriously, it helps so much with suspension of disbelief.So does that atmosphere! It's what I read VE Schwab books for, regardless of the age range. She's so good at crafting an atmosphere and pulling you into the setting, and I appreciate it so much, especially as someone who gets nervous about traveling. A book is the next best thing, you know?Anyway, if you like ghost stories and world travel and fast-paced middle grade books that aren't too heavy on complex plots, this is probably the book for you! Bonus: there's also a black cat lacking in, I quote, "basic feline dignity," so you might also like that as well. Everything is improved with cats, right?
I don't think I've read an MG book since I was MG myself :P, but of course I had to DEVOUR the new Schwab book as soon as it came out and I loved it! City of Ghosts fits the target group of readers well with its nice pacing, tales of friendship and mix of action and scary ghosts.The book takes place mostly in Edinburgh and it was especially fun to read since I've been there myself and visited several of the sites mentioned :D I fell in love with the city and all its history and legends.As the title of this review says, this book has an interesting take on life, death and the things in-between (I won't say too much lest I spoil the book). If I'm not mistaken this is one of the author's favourite themes to explore in her books and the ending of City of Ghosts is set up for further exploration of this theme.
