Ten-Ghost, Lucy Greeble, is a mandrake, shaman, and healer whose job it is to rid humans of spiritual parasites. Lucy, as a mandrake, can not read human emotion. She is unable to be indoors with more than two or three people. While she holds residency at the hospital, she prefers to wander the earth, healing humans and others she stumbles upon. Outdoors she does not make the social blunders that she tends to make while around her friends and colleagues.
The mysterious zobani live alongside us, invisible to our senses, seemingly harmless until they take up residence inside us, driving us to madness or worse. Fortunately, modern science has found cures for most of them, from fundamentalist ideas to bad dreams, in the form of medicines, exercises, and rituals designed to keep the worst of them at bay. However, not everyone can afford these treatments.
Enter Ten-Ghost, spiritual doctor and mandrake given life, who has sworn to use her talents to help those in her path. She takes to the wilderness, where her stolen life can not linger for long, burying herself in her work. She demands that her patients avail themselves of her services, tricking them into it one way or another. All is well, until a visit from Fate's messenger, the spirit of a forgotten summer, who gives her a message that shakes her to her core.
For Fate's messenger demands that she becomes human.

Ten-Ghost eBook Adam Thaxton, Bo Bradshaw, Salman Bootsy Reviews
I find myself having trouble putting into words exactly why I enjoyed this book. Not because I can't think of reasons, but because I don't think I can do the book justice with my words. The book is impressive. It caused me to slow down and really read each line to squeeze the nuance intended.
This book has an exceedingly interesting setting and main character, unique and complete. Both the reader's understanding of the world and of Ten-Ghost grow organically, a tree slowly spreading roots and reaching for the sky with leaves verdant. By the end of the book, it isn't a sapling, but it has yet even approached its apex. The world and creatures within are described beautifully and the wit of the characters is just enough to keep the tone of the overall book from being too somber. I wholeheartedly recommend this book for anyone looking for something unique.
A well thought out tale about what defines a human. I really enjoyed the world building. It starts slow, but builds nicely to a satisfying conclusion
Simply put, this book changed my life. While I was reading it, I fell in love with the world, the protagonist, and even the author a little bit. ^.^
As stated in the heading to this review, this book is very hard to describe. On the surface, it's a fantasy novel with a shamanic girl as the protagonist. But that description is too simple, too trite to capture even the superficial aspects of the story. So instead of trying to describe it, I'm going to use this review to try to convey what this story means to me and how it changed me.
I am a very fast reader. I can consume door-stopper novels as if they were a bag of potato chips. But for this book, I read as slowly as I could manage. I read /every single word/. I would even stop and re-read passages, just because they were so strange & beautiful.
For me, this book was a journey. I felt closer, more akin, to Ten-Ghost than any other character I have ever read or watched. There was some undefinable, indescribable affinity I felt to her that was as thrilling as it was perplexing. How could such a strange character in such a strange world make more sense to me than anything else I'd ever read? What did it say about me that I didn't just like, but could RELATE to this girl, this world?
I had been encouraged to read this book by a friend who played an MMORPG with the author. My friend doesn't read much, but really liked the author as one of his favorite people to play this game with and was intrigued by it and so asked me to read it and tell him what I thought. So one day as I was gushing on and on to my friend about how much I lurrrrved this book, he mentions that the author had told him that the book was intended as an attempt to describe the world as experienced by an autistic person. This intrigued me. I started researching Autism Spectrum Disorder, and came away with the revelation that I am in fact autistic. I belong to the part of the spectrum formally called Aspergers. I have had a lot of trouble with depression and social anxiety and such and no combo of meds/counseling has been very successful. Now I know what the (I hesitate to say "problem", but can't think of a better word right now) problem is and I know what treatment to seek, as well as how to just be more comfortable in my "oddness".
So I want to tell Mr. Thaxton that his book was a revelation for me. It was the single biggest help in my life-long struggle to figure myself out. I don't feel any less odd or different than I did before, but now it doesn't hurt so much. Now I know what my oddness is, I am so much closer to knowing who I am and how I fit into the world. I don't have the words to describe how enormously important this is to me.
So thank you, Mr. Thaxton. Thank you for writing this beautiful, wonderful, amazingly weird book. It profoundly changed my life for the better. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
