Hah. The exception that proves the rule. It's got ghosts. It's got reincarnation. And the time-travel ties them together. But it works. The ghosts & reincarnation are PART OF THE STORY. And it doesn't go off on long boring tangents about something that happened to some dead people who nobody cares about because they were thoroughly unlikeable. Er. Speaking of tangents. Anyway. The heroine's reaction to the time travel was great--very realistic. I had a question or two at the end, which is why it didn't get an extra half star, but all in all, a good story. ( )
