This is a fun book – it’s a middle reader, so goes by pretty fast.
The conceit is that Brandon Sanderson is the pen name a young man named Alcatraz, and is using this book to get his story out to those of us in the lands the Librarians are in charge of. They’re in an evil conspiracy to hide the rest of the magical world from us, you see. The action is completely preposterous, as it really should be for an adventure story for this age group. I would have enjoyed this thoroughly when I was that age.
