The only Jonathan Stroud books I'd read, prior to this, was his Bartimaeus series.
I was vaguely - but only vaguely - aware of the Netflix series based on this particular series, although I'd never read any of said books nor seen any of that series.
Having finished all four books in the aforementioned Bartimaeus series (a trilogy plus a prequel), I thought I'd pick this up on a whim.
It took me a fair while after doing so to actually get around to reading it; what I eventually found (once I did) was a thoroughly enjoyable so-called 'Young Adult' read, that also has a bit of a bite in it - here, ghosts are more frightening and a threat than they seem to be more commonly portrayed as in modern media.
Think "The Lady in White" from one of the early Supernatural episodes, rather than Casper.
