There is a lot of criticism of Sylvester in the fandom, but I found him not too bad here : his main fault is mostly doting on his wife and son and as a result wanting to have Wilfried as Aub and refusing to take a second wife, even though that creates a lot of problems for everyone because Wilfried is obviously very dense and naive and would be completely incompetent as Aub. What was striking was how incompetent most of the ruling class of Yurgenschmidt seemed to be. That volume was basically a succession of high-level political meetings for preparing the Archdukes Conference, and it is a testament to Miya Kazuki skill as a writer that it was actually quite entertaining instead of extremely boring. ![]()

Most of the mileage came from our heroine’s move to Carmel from NYC but there was also a baddy worthy of a Buffy Season 1 episode. It's the start of a series so it had a Season 1, Episode 1 feel to it but it did deliver a complete story in which, in addition to learning about our heroine's backstory (lives all her life in NYC, has seen ghosts forever, doesn't want to end up in a psych ward, moved to Carmel when her mother remarried), current challenges (living in California - why no Mass Transit?, attending a new posh school, having a dead guy in haunting her bedroom and having three new step-brothers) and general attitude to life (mostly positive and tolerant but very committed to performing her role as a 'mediator' helping ghosts to move on- whether they want to or not), we see a dangerous ghost being bested.
