The Thirteen Hallows

I started to read this on Monday, 1/13/14, and at first I thought I was going to be disappointed.  The writing was not as smooth as what I’ve recently gotten used to – I have gotten quite spoiled reading such excellent writers and it’s now harder for me to read books that are not up to those standards – but after I kept reading a while I managed to enjoy the book anyway.  And it was written quite well, actually – just could’ve used some finessing in places, IMHO.  But all in all, The Thirteen Hallows, was pretty darn good – with an interesting premise, fast-moving action and likable characters; I’d give it about 3 stars.  I certainly read it quickly; I finished it yesterday.
