Book three of the Alcatraz Smedry series. Fresh off their adventures last time . . . Alcatraz finally gets to visit the free kingdoms- a wonderful world where glass technology and fantastic creatures enable all sorts of amazing things. And he learns shocking information about his family and history. But all of this fades to the background as a new menace arises . . . the Librarians have called for a truce to end the war. It has promise but seems dangerous- and the cost (giving up the land of Mokia) may be too high. As the council ponders what to do, Alcatraz and friends uncover a plot that may bring ruin to them all. Can they stop it in time?
Written in the same style as the others, book three has the wit, humor, and absurdity that I love about the series. But it also has wisdom- probably more than the others- and some very clever plot devices. Probably my favorite so far.
Rating: A+
