![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This time, reading the book, I realized that Kirra and I are the same age, and it worries me that someone my age (albeit that I’m sure the life expectancy is lower in medieval-esque Gillengaria and characters mature more quickly as a consequence) could make the poor choices that Kirra does. I like this story least frankly because Kirra disappoints me and frightens me. The Thirteenth House is the story of Kirra Danalustrous, a shiftling (a mystic with the ability to change the shape of herself and of objects that she touches) and serramarra (daughter) of one of the twelve main houses between which the country of Gillengaria is feudally divided. The first four of these sword and sorceries each revolve around the romances of one or more of the six main characters ( the fifth revolves around a minor character from the first four). Of the five books, my least favorite is the second, The Thirteenth House. Sharon Shinn’s stellar writing, wonderful world-building, and charismatic characters have secured her Twelve Houses series a place on my list of favorite series. ![]()
