bookwyrmknits 's review for:
The Thirteenth House
by Sharon Shinn
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
Of the lot this is my least favorite of the 12 Houses novels. And I know why: though I like the characters and the plot is well worked, I can't stand the affair part. It's written *too well* - it doesn't read like an affair in the abstract, but one in the concrete. And since I've been the one cheated on, it's hard for me to swallow.
I guess that is, however, a mark of how well it's written... there have been other books that have affairs in them which I have read, and not cared as much. But this one was done so well that it's too believable.
Still. It is a great book, which is why I bought it (and re-read it) instead of relying on the library copy I read the first time around.
