whattheHoid she/her Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 So, I have read pretty much everything by Brandon except for Alcatraz. This is mostly because I wanted to finish the Cosmere stuff first. I just finished the Rithmatist and I loved it. Is Alcatraz too young of a book? Like is it a kid's book or a YA book? Is it worth reading? I figure it probably is because it's a Brandon book, but I thought I would ask you guys you have read it already. Thanks friends!
Ammanas Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 (edited) Yes it does seem written for a younger audience perhaps the 10-15 crowd (about the same target audience as Rithmatist). That being said I am a adult and still thought they were fun. I always encourage people to try different series and see if it appeals to them, and make up their own minds, because some of my favorite series people hate and some books others love I didn't like.

whattheHoid she/her Posted July 5, 2018 Author Posted July 5, 2018 Ok thanks! You convinced me. I think I'll definitely check them out. I do need to pick up Skyward too. I'll read them while waiting for next Stormlight/Cosmere novel.
Ammanas Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 @whattheHoid I got a little confused because you posted in the Reckoners section of the forum (which I thought you were asking about), but you are asking about Alcatraz. I haven't read Alcatraz, but my advice about trying new things still stands. Hopefully you have a library near by so if you don't like it its not a waste of money. Best of luck and happy reading!
whattheHoid she/her Posted July 6, 2018 Author Posted July 6, 2018 Oh oops, sorry, I thought I was posting in Alcatraz. I'm assuming Reckoners and Alcatraz aren't the same series then?
Ammanas Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 No they are not. I would recommend checking out Reckoners before Alcatraz though.
Quantus he/him Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 I second the checking out of Reckoners, it was fantastic and a unique (and oddly realistic) take on the Superhero genre 1
whattheHoid she/her Posted July 6, 2018 Author Posted July 6, 2018 Ooh!? Superheroes? Sounds exciting! I'm curious how Brandon crafts a superhero story!

+Sorana she/her Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 They are amazing. Not in the cosmere, but non the less amazing. Full of interessting characters and a lot of surprises.
