Beyonders:A World Without Heroes

Hello everybody The Hunger Games will be released less in two days and I'm really excited since early reviews are really positive.Anyway last week I read Beyonders:A World Without Heroes by Brandon Mull(the author of Fablehaven)It was published in 2011.

The good
.While the premise of the story isn't that original as you go on in the story some parts definitely will definitely feel more fresh and and original.
.The characters are quite likable.

The bad
.I didn't quite like the cover.
.Lacked some character development.

Quick summary
Jason is just an average teenager who hopes something more out of the ordinary in his life.One day he is transported to another world called Lyrian.He learned that Lyrian is controlled by a powerful wizard named Maldor.He accidentally learns one of the keyword that can destroy Maldor so now Maldor knows of Jason existence and wish to destroy him before he could do so.Jason and Rachel(another person who was transported here)must collect all the keywords if they ever wish to go home.While on their journey they......................That's it I guess.

The conclusion
I for one was quite suprised when I finished the book and found almost nothing that feels childish.When I read Jack Blank and the Imagination I could feel some parts of the book was written for kids but Beyonder suprised me the story still felt for young teens but it had a darker and more satisfying tone so even older teens can enjoy it(Just saying I never had any boundary age for reading I could even read an Enid Blytn if I want to)What Beyonder lacks is on the character development some characters dissapears too fast as they emerge but luckily I liked the characters so in some way it did make up on the lack character development.Beyonders is a book written for young teens but with it slight dark tone evn adult can at least find enjoyment in it.

Rating:8 out of 10
