leiftheuncanny 's review for:
Bastille vs. the Evil Librarians
by Brandon Sanderson, Janci Patterson
oh my dear Bastille and Alcatraz.
I have to say, something about this book just didn't hit in the same way the first Alcatraz books did, and it definitely create the devastation I felt while reading the 5th book. I don't know if it's the change in authors, the change in POV, or just because it's been so many years since I first read Alcatraz... but whatever it was, it wasn't the same.
That being said, it was still really good. I loved being able to see from Bastille's perspective, and I've adored Alcatraz's arc -- seeing him become a hero, albeit a flawed hero, and it was interesting to have him genuinely grieving this whole book. Sometimes that is what happens. We can't always be the hero who takes the initiative and solves all the problems.
It's a really nice ending to a delightful and insightful series. I'd love to read the whole thing again some day.
