the evil librarians by brandon sandersonĪlcatraz has lived fairly unhappily as a foster child for his entire life, shuffling from family to family. the Evil Librarians is definitely more of a fantasy-lite kind of book. The thing about Brandon Sanderson is that most of his books are fantasy and that is not really my genre of choice, especially serious, map-including, multiple kingdoms, curse/prophecy sorts of books. Of course, I happened to choose one of the few Sanderson books Bart hasn’t read, but let’s ignore that for the time being. (Now I’m wondering if everyone tells my dad that he must see Little Shop of Horrors, what with the evil dentist and all).Īlso, Brandon Sanderson is one of Bart’s very favorite authors and he keeps telling me to read something by him. If you’re a librarian, everyone will tell you that you must read this book.

See, here’s the thing about a book where the villains are librarians ruling the world. the Evil Librarians is one of those books I’ve been meaning to read all this time. I went down that road myself with the Kingkiller Chronicles, which i enjoyed very much, but i may die before it is ever completed.One of the things I love about Tell Me What to Read is it helps me finally get around to reading books I’ve meant to read for, oh, eight years or so.Īlcatraz vs. I do not want to start my kids on a series that might never be completed.

I decided that possibly reddit might be more helpful. Is there going to be a 6th book, and if so, is there a schedule for when it might be released? I tried googling this and found a lot of nebulous and non-committal pieces of information. I've looked at Sanderson's web site and frankly, it's a bit hard to navigate or find information on.

I'm concerned that the first 5 books have been out for a number of years, but reviews say the 5th book ends with a cliffhanger and it's been many years since it was written. It looks like something they would both love and might be a great series to start reading together as a family. I have a 12 year old daughter and and 8 year old son, and i've stumbled across Sanderson's Alcatraz and the Evil Librarians series. I've been reading fantasy since college in the late 70's, but i just finished the Mistborn Era 1 trilogy and i'm very impressed with his storytelling. I'm somewhat new to the Brandon Sanderson literary world.
