Historia
Eff was born a thirteenth child. Her twin brother, Lan, is the seventh son of a seventh son. This means he's supposed to possess amazing talent - and she's supposed to bring only bad things to her family and her town. Undeterred, her family moves to the frontier, where her father will be a professor of magic at a school perilously close to the magical divide that separates settlers from the beasts of the wild. With wit and wonder, Patricia Wrede creates an alternate history of westward expansion that will delight fans of both J. K. Rowling and Laura Ingalls Wilder.

very refreshing
Revisado: 05-29-14
Would you listen to Thirteenth Child again? Why?
yes. i thought the description of magic in this book was very interesting, a different approach than any other book. i also loved the parallels to real history and the way the author made changes, it was not crucial to the story line but made the listen much more entertaining and engaging.
Which scene was your favorite?
*spoiler*
when eff figures out how to solve the beetle problem. it shows how she is able to think in different ways than all of her magical counterparts.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
when eff was upset about len potentially hurting the classmates with the hot foot spell even though they had been antagonizing her she still showed compassion.

Where does Theft of Swords rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Much better than average
What did you like best about this story?
I found myself really getting into the story.
Any additional comments?
I had run out of books to listen to and downloaded this on a whim. It turned out to be well worth my credit and I have really been pulled into the series. The book is very long but well broken up so i stayed into it.

Historia
Cutting a deal with a trickster god rarely goes well for any human brave or foolish enough to try it, but Atticus doesn’t feel like he has a choice. With members of the Norse pantheon out for his blood, he can’t train his apprentice in peace, so he asks Coyote to help him fake his own death. The cost, however, might wind up being every bit as high as if he’d made no deal at all.

Where does Tricked rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Pretty high, not all the way at the top but i'm always eager for the next one. i found the storyline of this one a little lacking but not terrible.
What did you like best about this story?
OBERON!! This dog adds great humor to the stories, several times i found myself laughing out loud.
Any additional comments?
This book, and the whole series is the perfect level of "adult" to be interesting, without being vulgar

I cant put this series down!
Revisado: 05-07-12
Would you listen to Captain's Fury again? Why?
I have listened to this book 3 times now, and the entire series twice. It is great the first time but i have found that i pick up a little more each time and the author does an excellent job of bringing back old characters you may not remember fully.
What does Kate Reading bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The way she does each character is great, and gets better the further the series goes.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes!
Any additional comments?
I love the Dresden Files and was a little apprehensive about this series and i was soooo wrong, this is now my favorite series of all time. It had an awesome new explanation of magic and has unique characters that all have their own flaws.
