The 13 Clocks

I have no idea why or how I ended up putting this one on hold. One of those random librarian moments I guess. Considering it was small, I hung on to it thinking I would get to it eventually. When Bout of Books came up, I knew it was a perfect time.

I haven't read much fairy tales but even I could see this was full of fairy tale tropes. The prince in disguise, the impossible task, the evil uncle...all these plus more made this like a giant “find the trope” read. A quick read by an author I haven't read and a book that I want to give to my nephew to enjoy in a few years.
