Weirdlet

I got a good chunk through, it was pretty cool- I just reached a point where I disagreed with characterization too much to continue. But (her?) worldbuilding was incredible, and I really liked the whole other level of freaky that spirits and elemental connections got there. That scene where that horrible skull-faced ghost woman showed up in the palace, heralding the end of a reign because there was no Earth King within its walls... it was creepy all on its own, and it lent this big, epic feel to things, like there's *reasons* for the weight of tradition to be so strong, because such things are almost the pillars of how human society continues to exist in a world where spirits may not be super-obtrusive, but are like leviathans beneath the surface of reality.
