A review by harleyrae
Thirteenth Child by Patricia C. Wrede
3.0
2.75/5 Stars
I had so many issues with this book it ain't even funny. The only reason I'm giving it 2.75 stars is due to the last 100 pages. At the end of the book and plot finally formed, and things became exciting to read, before that it was incredibly boring and was lacking a plot. I was not a fan of the setting, it just didn't feel very original. It was very similar to our world, only difference this book has is that it is set during the time of Lewis and Clark and involves magic. I didn't like how the book was set up, I just had many issues with this. I did like though how towards the end of the book, Eff finally started to believe in herself a bit and to stop listening to everyone else.
All in all I am very disappointed with how this book turned out for me. I will not be finishing the series, though I do wonder what the relationship between William and Eff will end of being, I was rooting for them the entire time.
