Thirteenth Night by Alan Gordon

1.0

My sister was sending this off to the library donation pile years and years and years ago and I swiped it to read. Never got around to it. . . and when I finally did I realized she had it right. No reason to finish this, at least for me. There’s a lot of casual misogyny and gay-bashing here and I found myself intrigued not at all by the mystery plotline by about halfway into the book.

There’s a also a lot of telling. We hear how awesome the MC is at playing the fool. What we get is a drunkard flirt who misses juggling balls because he’s out of practice... and then he disguises himself as a merchant in short order. No Foolery there. That’s what I call a spy.
