Nightspell by Leah Cypess

What the back of the book says:
"Here be ghosts, the maps said, and that was all.
In this haunted kingdom, ghosts linger—not just in the deepest forests or the darkest caverns, but alongside the living, as part of a twisted palace court that revels all night and sleeps through the daylight hours.
Darri's sister was trapped in this place of fear and shadows as a child. And now Darri has a chance to save her sister . . . if she agrees to a betrothal with the prince of the dead. But nothing is simple in this eerie kingdom—not her sister, who has changed beyond recognition; not her plan, which will be thrown off track almost at once; and not the undead prince, who seems more alive than anyone else.
In a court seething with the desire for vengeance, Darri holds the key to the balance between life and death. Can her warrior heart withstand the most wrenching choice of all?"

What I have to say about it:
I mean, it was okay. I liked Mistwood better, though. I did like the name of the country - the Ghostlands! Very World of Warcraft of them. But I felt like the book was very dull, I found it hard to get into it. There's only one big surprise and, really, it wasn't much of a surprise. I liked Kestin, and Darri was pretty sweet too, but that was kind of it.
The cover is cool, though!
Final thoughts, it was just okay. It was just a bit dull for my tastes, is all.
