Thirteenth Child by Patricia C. Wrede

3.0

This book was pretty good. The main character, Eff, was interesting, but I felt she was kinda slow and not very funny or descriptive. He brother, Lan was way cooler to read about because he was a 7th son of a 7th son. This meant he was super powerful!! At some point they made you think that maybe Eff was actually powerful. Weird powerful, but hey aren't all main characters different in some way? In the end she just turned out to be normal. I also didn't absolutely love the setting. Sure it was a new idea, but it really didn't interest me. Old time setting with magic in the East and and old time setting that bans magic in the West. Frankly it was confusing most of the time. Lan was definitely the reason I actually finished the book.
