When I picked this book up I was in the mood for something atmospheric, immersive and maybe slightly creepy, and The Thirteen Treasures ticked every one of those boxes. Similarly to the Pinch of Magic series by the same author, this is a children's fantasy novel which verges on horror and is utterly gripping. 

I don't love this as much as I do the Pinch of Magic series, but that really has more to do with my personal preferences than the book itself (I'm honestly not fond of stories with fairies). I wanted to try more of Harrison's work though and I'm glad I did because I had a good time with it despite the fairies, the writing was as good as ever. I definitely plan to read the rest of the series when I can get hold of them. Highly recommended, especially if you like creepy fairies.
