A review by dinipandareads
The Thirteenth Hour by Trudy Skies
5.0
I read this book as part of the blog tour hosted by The Write Reads. Special thanks to the author for providing a copy in exchange for an honest review! 4.5 stars rounded up.
If you look at my reading history over the last year and a half, you'll see that I haven't been in much of a fantasy mood, so I wasn't quite sure how I would feel about this read. I needn't have worried though because Trudie Skies managed to so quickly reel me into this incredible world that they've created, and I didn't want to put the story down for a minute—at over 500 pages, this one's a bit of a chonkster but I finished it in a little over a day. I have a feeling my review is gonna be a bit of a mess despite trying to write something coherent lol? But long story short: if you enjoy fantastic world-building with diverse realms and cultures, a great cast of main and supporting characters with found family vibes, and a compelling mystery in a fast-paced urban setting, then you won't want to miss out on this gem! This is one of the most unique urban steampunk portal fantasies that I've had the pleasure to read and I'm so glad that it came across my radar!
