A World Without Heroes takes readers to an incredible, mesmerizing world for an epic adventure and introduces them to some fantastic, unforgettable characters.

I wish I had a fraction of the imagination talent Brandon Mull has. Beyonders takes world building to a whole new level. I've not read anything quite like this before. It's world full of possibilities, danger, adventure and a place where choices determine your outcome. Aside from the characters, one of things I really enjoyed about this story was how the character's choices always have consequences and impact their journey. Coming from an outside world, the story's main characters Jason and Rachel are bit naive to the new world they've accidentally come into, but smart enough to withstand some of the temptations that come their way. In an unfamiliar place full of strong, indepth characters it's hard to decide who they should trust.

I really like Jason and Rachel. They are true heros and characters readers will be able to relate to. They're brave, they both of an inner strength I admire, they're smart and courageous, but at the same time they make mistakes, which makes them feel realistic. I also really enjoyed their sense of humor and snarkiness. That's one of the things I felt really drew me to their characters. There are a lot of characters Brandon introduces into the story, and normally I find it hard to follow along when this happens, but I felt it really worked for A World Without Heros and the journey Jason and Rachel are on. The other thing I liked about some of the creative characters Brandon comes up with is how he allowed me as a reader to imagine what they looked like.

With it's unforgettable adventure, and unlikely heros, A World Without Heros is a magical story that will appeal to not just middle grade readers, but readers of all ages. There's something for everyone to enjoy and take away from the story. I love that Brandon introduces not one, but two strong characters that both boys and girls will admire. I really liked where this first story ended and I can't wait to pick up the sequel, Seeds of Rebellion.

A World Without Heroes Beyonders Brandon Mull 9781416997931 Books Reviews

Cool adventure with an evil wizard, severed heads from Displacers (people who can detach their body parts at will and then reattach them unaffected), seed people (who can die and then regrow themselves from a seed afterwards), a titan crab, jumping off cliffs, infested swamps, betrayals, escapes, and daring rescues. Brandon Mull impressed me yet again with his writing skills. I LOVE his “Fablehaven” series. He creates stories that are accessible to young readers yet also enjoyable for adults. It’s a relief to find books that are safe for my kids to read when there is so much garbage in books and on TV, finally something we can share.

It had a great opening teaser that set the tone for the rest of the book. There is a legend that tells of there being a Word that can destroy the reigning wizard Maldor, it would be his undoing. I loved Maldor and wanted more of him. The read would have been more enticing had he been in more scenes. He was mostly talked about. He was cunning; he realized the advantage of keeping his enemies broken rather than dead as martyrs. This created more fear in the people, sort of a fate worse than death feeling. He lured many opponents to “lay down their arms” so to speak, by inviting them to Harthenham Castle where they would have an eternal feast without a care in the world. Rumor had it once you accepted the invitation you did not return.

Rachel and Jason were the teenage duo on a quest to find the syllables making up the legendary Word. They amused me with their mutual stubbornness. They complimented each other with their individual strengths. I liked that Jason took it upon himself to dethrone Maldor by an accident, initially out of curiosity really in trying to find a way home.

Jasher was a favorite character of mine. His entrance with his chain-whip was cool. He asked Jason how he came to oppose Maldor. He answered that it was by accident and once Maldor was pursuing him he had no choice. Jasher encouraged Jason “Do not dishonor your involvement. For each of us destiny is a blend of potential, circumstances, and choices. You could flee and hide. You could bargain with Maldor. You have chosen a heroic path. Walk it without apology.” The idea of being a hero—one who had the courage to do what was right no matter the consequences—was laced throughout the story.

Some scenes I liked
The description of Ned’s scary teeth “His gums looked pulled back too high. A few teeth were missing…It reminded Jason of a picture his dad had shown him to scare him into brushing his teeth.”
Ferrin was a quirky displacer. He used a headless scare tactic to fend off possible enemies. Amongst our heroes “…fingers and thumbs began dropping off Ferrin’s hands. They wormed off his body and squirmed toward Jason across the ground.” Jason “You are weird.”

Without giving too much away, the challenge questions for the chancellorship were believable coming from young 13 year old teenagers. They proved their cleverness by inconspicuously provoking the chancellor into giving information about the Word.

The Whitelake incident was suspenseful. I could almost feel the heat and felt winded as Rachel raced toward the unknown.

The stinky moment—they applied a natural bug repellant from gel squeezed out of some peculiar flowers that resulted in an unfortunate body odor. Sniffing the rank air, Rachel asked “What died?” and later said “I wish I could avoid myself.”

Great twist in the end—a surpsiring turn of events. Like I said, the wizard Maldor…very cunning.
