I enjoy a good ghost story, but while there are plenty of good haunted house stories out there, it's not often that I encounter a good haunted spaceship stories. Fortunately, The Ghost Line is a good read - not because it has great jump scares or a truly horrific ghost (or monster, or whatever), but because it shows us that sometimes, the most terrifying ghosts of all are the ghosts of our past.

One caveat: I thought the characters were a little bland. I think that, given enough time and room to grow (as in: if they were given an entire novel's worth of development), I think they would've all been awesome, but as it stands it feels like they didn't stand out as much as I would like them to. This is especially true with Wei: I like her a lot as a character (though not as a person), and I would have loved to really see where she could have gone, if she'd been given enough story-room to grow.
