I appreciate your comment Miriam.Miriam Molina wrote: ↑06 Oct 2018, 16:20 The summary sounds enticing. An alternate 1894 California, communicating with the dead, an asylum and a would-be Hitler make for an explosive story. Too bad the author seems to have bungled the execution.
Thanks for your incisive review.

Hahaha! Do let me know when you make up your mind! Thanks for stopping by!BookReader+6 wrote: ↑06 Oct 2018, 16:57 Hmmm-mixed about whether to read this one or not! You make good points for both reading it and not reading it in your insightful review. I'll probably check out more reviews to help make up my mind about it. It sounds like an interesting plot!

This could indeed have been a masterpiece had the author put in more efforts towards world building. Thanks for your comment.Espie wrote: ↑14 Oct 2018, 23:47 This seems to be a unique piece with the not-so-usual theme, setting, and jargon. With the extraordinary details you've mentioned, it seems like it could have been on its way to being a bestselling piece had the hiccups pinpointed been addressed. Thank you for your well-written review.

Thanks for your appreciation and the comment.JHuschle519 wrote: ↑22 Oct 2018, 01:14 I reviewed this one as well, and I rather liked it, but you made some very fair criticisms in your review. One area where I can definitely agree with you is your enjoyment of the different spirits personalities and antics. I found this to be a very fun part of the book.

Thanks for dropping by.Sahani Nimandra wrote: ↑22 Oct 2018, 03:54 I honestly read this book and I fell in love with it. It's certainly a book that I wish to re-return. I'm sorry that you feel that way, but I rather let the environment settle in a dystopian era. Thank you for your review!
