An Unkindness of Ghosts

Aster is my new hero. This is a case of the jacket copy not quite nailing what the novel is about, so I found myself at a loss reading this. I don't know, I went in expecting Snowpiercer and got something much different. I had some trouble following the plot but I chalked that up to the fact that Aster is a complex character who does not think in a linear way and to the flashbacks/fairytales/religious stories that are jammed in here as well. Sometimes the flashbacks went on for an entire chapter and I'd forget what was happening.
Overall, it's one of the most original works I have read in a long time.
