Jason Walker has often wished his life could be a bit less predictable--until a routine day at the zoo ends with Jason suddenly transporting from the hippo tank to a place unlike anything he's ever seen. In the past, the people of Lyrian welcomed visitors from the Beyond, but attitudes have changed since the wizard emperor Maldor rose to power. The brave resistors who opposed the emperor have been bought off or broken, leaving a realm where fear and suspicion prevail.In his search for a way home, Jason meets Rachel, who was also mysteriously drawn to Lyrian from our world. With the help of a few scattered rebels, Jason and Rachel become entangled in a quest to piece together the word of power that can destroy the emperor, and learn that their best hope to find a way home will be to save this world without heroes.

I'm normally a big fan of Mull's work. Especially the awesome Fablehaven series. He manages to ground the fantasy in realistic, honest characters...which is just the thing that's missing from the first book in the Beyonders series.The story behind the Beyonders is interesting, but he plops a couple of characters into the action with essentially no exposition. We don't know the characters, we don't care about them, and we're not invested in their success or failure. Beyond that, the story feelsExciting, clever, and perfectly suited for the twelve-year old boy in your home, A World Without Heroes is the first of three in Brandon Mull's Beyonder series. The Goodreads blurb for A World Without Heroes is pretty blase and underwhelming, summarizing a plot that sounds not unlike a dozen other adolescent books. A child or teen, at a crossroads in life, stumbles upon a portal or passageway to another world. Adventures ensue. A way home is found, the child older and wiser. For example, try
Super fun book! I'm a HUGE fan of Brandon Mull's Fablehaven series, so I was pretty psyched to finally sit down and read this book. I didn't love it as much as Fablehaven, but I really enjoyed it a lot. Loads of adventure and likable characters. Definitely a must-read if you're a Mull fan. Highly recommended for middle schoolers, especially middle school boys. Looking forward to diving into book 2!My WebsiteMy YA fantasy series:book 1 book 2 book 3
Final rating: 4.25/5 starsFinal rating - for the whole series: 4.75/5 stars I loved it. I finished it in a day. Great worldbuilding, fantastic villain, and a world with no heroes. Literally.Basically, as the name says, there is only one ruler, he's a mage, the last one, and he conquered everything. Instead of killing his enemies, he makes examples of them, or spares them in blissful prison, or he throws them into the cruel ones, or he ask them to join him. No killing unless necessary. No maps,
Only Brandon Mull can pull off something as ridiculous as a protagonist being swallowed by a hippopotamus. Yes you read correctly, a hippopotamus. This truly has been pleasure to read.This was an intensive adventure, and I'm so glad that I bought the box-set of the trilogy. I've decided to pace myself on this series.
I LOVED Fablehaven, so was excited to see a new Brandon Mull book.But I was disappointed that this was no Fablehaven. The book redeems itself in the end, and I am genuinely looking forward to a sequel, but my goodness the first third of this book is as bad as I've ever read. Besides a choppy pace and a character we know almost nothing about (and therefore care nothing about), the editor let sentences like, "He extended his hand probingly" and "The sand stopped his submergence." get by. Is
OH MY GOD I loved this book! It kept me on edge the whole time with all its twists and turns!!! Highly recommended this and any other books by Brandon Mull
