Book 2 of the Wilderking Trilogy (Secret of the Swamp King) by Johnathan Rogers & Book 3 of the Thirteen series (Paperboat) by Trisha Priebe
I'm actually really liking Wilderking so far, I thought going into the series it
would be a bit too childish, but I'm really enjoying it so far.
It is indeed a lot like the Wingfeather series but without all the
cliffnotes, no fantasy elements, and being on a
way less grander scale like everyone said it was.
As for Thirteen... Some of the plot and characters are, let's just say thoroughly entertaining
and hilarious to me for the wrong reasons. In all honestly the idea of the plot is really unique,
which is why I wanted to give the series a try, but the execution of it isn't much better than the
characters. (Which I can sum up as being either too melodramatic, "mysterious," almost literally
flawless, or sadly underdeveloped.) So I decided to read the final book just for the fun of it. I mean,
who knows? Maybe Paperboat builds up to something that's actually pretty clever.
