Twice Dead<\/em>\u00a0By\u00a0Caitlin Seal<\/h3>\n

“Twice Dead”<\/em>, a story by Caitlin Seal set in the fictional land of Belavine City, is about a girl named Naya who meets her untimely death within the first chapter while on a trading mission for her merchant father. However, she\u2019s not about to kick the bucket just yet. Naya has been revived by a necromancer and brought back to life as a wraith. Wraiths don\u2019t necessarily \u2018live\u2019\u2014 they don\u2019t breathe, they have no pulse, and they have essentially nothing left to live for. But when Naya discovers that her father\u2019s trade is not just goods, but secrets, she also becomes a spy in hopes of not being rejected by him. However, before Naya can conduct spy work, she must learn to exist as one of the undead without incident and also accept the craft of necromancy. I found this book to have a plot that was very hard to follow. It left me confused at several points, and I felt that some of the characters were not developed enough. Also, the story was somewhat predictable, as a few of the so-called \u201ctwists\u201d left me feeling something like \u201cOh, okay. I was expecting that.\u201d Overall, I would rate this debut of the \u201cNecromancer\u2019s Song\u201d series at 2.5 stars.<\/p>\n
