⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Pohler effectively blends gothic atmosphere with political intrigue, creating a tense narrative about institutional secrecy and historical trauma. The story succeeds in humanizing the abstract cost of engineering feats through the lens of a century-old spirit. While it lacks the pacing of pure horror, its strength lies in the exploration of lived experiences versus official records. It suits readers who appreciate slow-burn mysteries with strong social commentary rather than jump scares. The integration of supernatural elements serves the plot well, emphasizing the persistence of past injustices. However, those expecting a straightforward ghost story may find the thematic weight heavy. Overall, it is a thoughtful contribution to the genre.
