Narration Toward Books A World Without Heroes (Beyonders #1)
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 feelsLet me say...I liked Harry Potter. Garth Nix, most of his books I enjoy greatly. I have read a lot of YA books that I really enjoyed.This isn't one of them.While I can't say I hate this book or anything like that, I don't even intensely dislike it, mostly, I was just glad to get through it. I'd call this more of a juvenile book than a YA or even a Youth book. The characters in the book, the relationships in the book all are just very young.I mean let's face it. Our Hero gets to the magical land
I just finished the advanced reading copy of Beyonders A World Without Heroes. This was a fast paced read, very hard to put down. The book will not be released until March 22, 2011. Although this book is geared for middle readers, it will be enjoyed by all ages from young to old. Brandon Mull is a great writer. I am a big fan of Fablehaven but I think this new series may just top Fablehaven, I can't wait for the next book in the series!!!
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.

The hippo swallows him, but
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,
Audiobook readthrough review:holy shit everyone who told me the audiobooks for beyonders suck literally were not joking,,, rip but this is still my all time favorite series and my review is yet to come--I literally have been working on a full-series review of Beyonders for a month, and finished it tonight. buuuuut when I pasted it into the review box, it was, like, twice the length that goodreads allows?? I know it sounds like I'm exaggerating but it's almost 12 pages on word and the longest
