As with everything by Brandon Sanderson, reading this book is a delight. Why only three stars, some may ask. Well, to be perfectly honest it may deserve one more, but when I read Brandon's books my expectation is through the roof and though this book was fun, and quite nearly as good as the first in its series, it didn't blow my mind. That's all that is keeping it from a higher rating.
This is hilarious, clever, meta, intelligent, and adventurous YA fantasy. I recommend it to all children I know who can read at its level or higher, as well as to those who appreciate a good story no matter how crazy it is. The entire series should be enjoyed by many.

Didn't love this book as much as the first two, but it was still really fun and I really liked it. And... I would've had more to say if I'd kept up with these reviews. But at this point I've finished the entire series and don't remember if I had anything specific to say about this intsallment. So this is all I've got.

Things are getting complicated as Alcatraz and his Crystian knight take off to find more Smedry's with more talents and further complicate the Librarian's take-over of the Hushlands. You know, us.

This is laugh out loud, requires very few brain cells funny. Good lighthearted book when all you want to do is read, but you don't have the mind or energy to do so. I've enjoyed the series so far - looking forward to the fourth in the fall.

I still find the interjections at the beginning of every chapter more annoying than fun, but I imagine if I was the target age and someone was reading this aloud to me, I’d actually enjoy them a lot. And the story is definitely getting more intriguing!
