A review by crimsonsparrow
Alcatraz Versus the Shattered Lens by Brandon Sanderson
3.0
I was frustrated through 90% of this novel as it devolved quickly and thoroughly into excessive filler - and not even witty excessive filler, just annoying, empty prattle. The first two books at least managed to work the commentary and diatribes into the plot!
However, the actual plot and content, particularly at the end - they are the underpinnings of a great little book! Finally, some satisfaction! And now I HAVE to read the final installment and hope it doesn't make me regret the decision!
In all seriousness, this novel seemed significantly more juvenile than its predecessors while also managing to be significantly less amusing. The book is worth 2 stars, but the saving of the book - and possibly the series - is worth 3. We shall see!
Family Friendly rated G: References to a character being beaten.
