Kieli, Volume 1: The Dead Sleep in the Wilderness
Kieli, Volume 1: The Dead Sleep in the Wilderness | Yukako Kabei
3 posts | 2 read | 5 to read
Kieli is a reclusive girl isolated by her ability to see ghosts. Her only friend is her "roommate," Becca, the precocious spirit of a former student still residing in Kieli's dorm. Everything in Kieli's life changes suddenly when the girls meet the handsome but distant Harvey who, like Kieli, can see ghosts. He also turns out to be one of the legendary Undying, an immortal soldier bred for war now being hunted by the Church. When Kieli joins Harvey on a pilgrimage to lay to rest the spirit of a corporal possessing an old radio, as unlikely as it seems, she feels she may have finally found a place where she belongs in the world. And in Kieli, Harvey may have found a reason to live again.

•Exceptionally written 1st volume
•Fascinating yet subtle world-building infused with steampunk, fantasy, & supernatural facets
•Imperfectly charming characters
•Heart-wrenching interactions
•Tender yet satisfyingly ambiguous relationship developments
•Violent & brutally grotesque towards the last one-third to one-quarter, but adds dimension to plot & lore
•Wholeheartedly would LOVE an anime adaptation
•5/5

Starting this light novel as part of a group read for my Japanese book club. Looking forward to it. Has an interesting premise that revolves around a young girl who has the ability to see ghosts. Her only friend is her roommate who's the precocious spirit of a former student who used to live in the girl's dorm.
