Alcatraz Versus the Knights of Crystallia by Brandon Sanderson

This book continues the story of Alcatraz Smedry and his attempt to protect the Hushlands from the evil librarians. I enjoy the humor in this book (for example the Smedry talents are all things like being able to break things, looking really ugly when you wake up, and dancing badly). In addition to the resourcefulness that these talents develop, they also give the book a light-hearted side. This story exposes treachery in Nalhalla (which we get to see for the first time) and develops some theories about how the magic system works (it seems to be cleverly plotted out). I'm looking forward to the next book.
