A review by asterix77
Alcatraz Versus the Shattered Lens by Brandon Sanderson
3.0
Still funny, but the series slowly is starting to lose its magic.
The Shakespeare quotes shouted out randomly (because it makes you look mysterious) are really funny. There are some real gems in the chapter numbering and there is a fun reference to one of the mysteries in the Wheel of Time series.
The story is slowly getting a bit darker and I think Sanderson slipped in shades of grey regarding the morality of the characters. This is cleverly done.
But the constant addressing of the reader has its limits. Re-using jokes starts to be annoying.
As mentioned, some of the jokes are clever and funny, but dosing the humour is an art.
