A review by katieinca
Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians by Brandon Sanderson

2.0

Read on the recommendation of a 13yo in my life who's a fan (and generally a reluctant reader! but a Sanderson fan), but my 12yo & 10yo put it down shortly after picking it up, and it kinda dragged for me too. I liked the idea of world domination by evil librarians and some of the 4th-wall breaking winky schtick (a la Lemony Snicket but less dour). Those clever asides started to wear on me, though, really kind of drowning out both plot and characters.
