La primicia me enamoró en el acto, y cuando leí las primera páginas supe que necesitaba leerlo. Es una historia llena de drama familiar, secretos, traumas, y una buena dosis de fantasía que se integra de manera natural a toda la trama. El guión cuenta con todos los ingredientes correctos para hacer una historia que te encanta.

I fell in love with the scoop on the spot, and when I read the first few pages I knew I needed to read it. It's a story full of family drama, secrets, traumas, and a good dose of fantasy that's naturally integrated into the entire plot. The script has all the right ingredients to make a story that you love.

The premise is super interesting, however the execution was very confusing. The way that the powers are shown to work are just very confusing to me. There was also a part towards the beginning where I couldn't tell the difference between two characters. As a result, I couldn't tell when the story broke to the other character and was very confused. There is unfortunately not a lot of explanation over what was going on and I just felt confused.

I would like to thank Diamond Books for providing me with a copy.

Great start. Could have used a better editor though... all those your/you’re misuses are jarring to the reading experience

An intriguing idea, but the execution is lackluster and the editing is abysmal. I counted several 'your' vs 'you're' mistakes and that is just not okay.

This was my last read of August, like I finished this on the last day of August, sometime after midnight. I think I was watching Tarzan, actually. So maybe I was too into Tarzan to properly pay attention

I really thought the characters would have powers linked to death because it’s called Graveyard Wars so that’s where my line of thinking was. But actually they can just access people’s skills sets? So like, if you need a doctor right now, boom you know how to do open heart surgery, I guess. I didn’t understand some of the restrictions on their powers – like can they access ordinary people’s skill sets or is it limited to dead people who also had the ability (to access the skill sets)? Maybe that’ll be explained further down the line but I also don’t know if I’ll want to carry on with the series.

I realised (a couple of pages had passed) that there was a difference between 2 characters –  I thought like it was the same girl. but it was actually 2 different girls. Another thing I did have an issue with was it the wasn’t a lot of dialogue. so all I’m left with is stills of the characters instead of, say, narrative. With narrative, it makes it easier to follow the characters whereas with stills you have to sort of draw your own conclusion and I wasn’t really interested in doing that. Might’ve been a reason why I didn’t like it it as much as I was hoping I would.
