There is something time-critical pushing the plot to a very fast pace but the mc and her ghost are constantly bickering which actively stops them from working towards their goal.
Even more frustrating is that at times where they actually would have time to bicker, while riding to some destination or another, which happens constantly, we get one-sentence fast forwards.
I get that this is supposed to have humorous value of sorts but "Haha, this terrible thing is going to happen if we don't manage to do our thing in time but we are bickering over trivialities instead, haha, so funny" just doesn't compute especially because the story tries hard to make us genuinely care about it at the same time.
Cheap plot conveniences pile up high very quickly to construct a perfect storm of funny mishaps.
The book goes way too far with its intentionally awkward and uncomfortable situations while trying to be entertaining. This kind of humour stops being funny and starts to be uncomfortable and embarrassing pretty fast for me personally.
All of this robs any believability into the serious parts of the story and makes it seem much more like the author is trying way too hard to be constantly funny but it just makes me cringe instead.
This is really sad because I really enjoyed the humour in the first book. That is not to say there weren't any entertaining jokes in this one but it's all overshadowed by trying too hard.
I rarely see books with such entertaining humour written by a woman which makes it even more tragic. (I don't intend to push some prejudice here. That just has been my experience so far.)… (mehr)
