Beyonders: A World Without Heroes by Brandon Mull is the first book in the Beyonders Trilogy. When Jason falls into the hippo tank at the zoo where he works, he never would have imagined being swallowed and entering a new world called Lyrian. But, that's exactly what happens. Not only that, but he learns if he every wants to make it back to Beyond, he'll have to take on the evil Wizard Maldor. Rachel, who also appeared in Lyrian under mysterious circumstances, teams up with Jason on this quest. They know there is a magical word that if uttered in Maldor's presence will completely destroy him, so they set off on an incredible journey in search of all six syllables of this word. They face intense dangers and mystery along the way, including making friends with a man who can drop his limbs at will, battling a human-sized crab, traversing a lake worse than quick sand, and thwarting numerous villains who want them dead. Around every corner they meet new people, but they never know who can be trusted and who is out to get them. Will Lyrian find its hero in Jason and/or Rachel? Read to find out!
This was an amazing book! It was full of action, adventure, mystery and fantasy. I especially liked the fact that there wasn't any romance! I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys fantasy novels - this one reads like a movie. It's not hard to visualize the action in this book! I can't wait to read the second and third!
