{December 8th, 2014} MINI-REVIEW“In short, heroism means doing the right thing regardless of the consequences.”2.5 stars (ouch much?).Apparently I never did the review or update for this one, my bad. Been so scatterbrained lately with all the preparations for Christmas and my trip that will beginni...
A World Without Heroes is more of a 3.5 book for me. The main idea for the story was quite interesting as well as the characters. But I wasn't entirely hooked by this book. I often felt like some scenes were made longer for no purpose at all and then, there was A LOT of action to make up for it. Tha...
I had high hopes, but this book was much more fun than expected! I'll review the series once I've read it all.So far so good!********A few days later . . . Now that I've finished the third book . . .Wow, I haven't plowed through a book that fast in a long time! That should tell you what I think of...
Probably closer to 3.5 stars.It took me a bit to get into this book - the prologue in particular made me wonder if I should even bother reading on, filled as it was with said-bookisms. I don't even know if it was a deliberate stylistic choice or whether the prologue escape all the editors, as the re...
This review contains spoilers, but I will hide them.I have to admit that I have mixed feelings about A World Without Heroes. It had its share of issues, but I enjoyed it. And the more I think about it, the more I like it. But let's start with the bad:First off, the writing: I thought the prologue wa...
It was okay. Rather boring in parts. Slow moving. Long book that took a while to muddle through. I liked the idea of the "Lake" that I can't actually remember the name of...the baking soda lake for all intents and purposes. I liked the characters especially Rachel; I just wanted more character devel...
2.5 - 3 starsReally LONG. Slow start. Lacking a vivacity or intensity that really drew me in. Yet once it got going, well over 100 pages in, I enjoyed it and even found some of the elements original and inventive. A classic quest story, with the cliche old/blind mentor/adviser even, our heroes are d...
A World Without Heroes is a 'grew on me' book. Initially, I was not sure I liked the tone at all. At first, I thought it would read more like a Disney film than a weighty young adult fantasy novel with potential. As I listened, my feelings started to change. The idea is not new, but the in- betwee...
The plot was wonderful, the writing was exceptional, and the characters convincing. A World Without Heroes was a great read! Brandon Mull has, once again, crafted an enjoyable book for all ages. The only thing preventing me from giving this book five stars is the fact that it's High Fantasy. What's ...
This is a fun MG/YA book for both boys and girls. As the character is only 13 years of age, I don't think it would appeal to the older YA crowd. This is a great introduction to fantasy for the younger set and even though it is 464 pages, I think they will have fun with a young kid besting several wa...
