Highlights
Quality
It's really quite amusing, and his whacky magic system fits perfectly with the haphazard magical world he's created.
Hayley lazo does an amazing job with the cover and interior art.
As such, you should probably start with the first book and work your way through from there.
Alcatraz visits his homeland and learns a lot about himself, the free kingdoms and about the war with the evil librarians.

Alcatraz learns that fame isn’t all it is cracked up to be in fact it can be a bloody nuisance and be unhealthy for you
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The smedry’s aristocratic almost royal standing also explains their names all resembling prison names as the librarians took aristocratic nalhallan names and deliberately named prisons after them to discredit the free kingdoms aristocracy
