Talk:The Ninth Child and the Starving Ghost/@comment-25941663-20180707114422

Nice imagery and plot, very enjoyable.

It was all pretty good except the ending. I dislike double-twists with a passion, especially when there is no point in it.

"Oh hey, the ghost did not kill her, cool twist! Oh wait, nevermind, it just did..."

This is what went through my mind when reading this. Maybe I'm missing something, but I feel it's cheap to have the ghost turn good, pledge its soul to protect the child, and then kill it anyway. What's the point of all this? It feels like the last twist was written in just for shock value.

All in all, nice story, but the ending is dragging this story down.
