Just as fun as the first one. Great next step to the story – continuing on the overall narrative while having fun. Completely a kids book, but still solid.

The second installment in this series is just as funny as the first one. Sanderson must be careful not to overdo these witty interuptions, though. It is funny, it didn't bother me yet, but maybe tone it down a bit.
