A World Without Heroes

$19.99

I loved his Fablehaven Series. It was a flawed, but enjoyable read that appeared to have hours of research and planning behind it. The Beyonders? Not so much. Forgettable characters, a boring world and to much telling instead of showing plague this book. A few times I woke my wife while reading in bed after expressing incredulity audibly at the laughable plot. The magic that Mull worked in Fablehaven is lacking in the World of Lyrian; do yourself a favor and just pick this one up at the library is you want to give it a chance.
