Genre: Young Adult Fantasy
Review
In the final book of the Beyonder's trilogy, Rachel and Jason's group must separate into two teams - each against "impossible" odds. Jason's team goes in quest of a lost prophecy while Rachel's lays siege upon Maldor's fortress. All must learn to have faith in each other - a task which is much more difficult than it seems.
I loved the Beyonders series. I eagerly awaited the publication of this book, and read it the moment it was released. I wasn't disappointed. Brandon Mull has a vivid imagination - he's created a world that's very different from the standard epic fantasy - most of his creatures are of his own design, and follow a very creative set of rules. This book is much like the classic epic fantasies like The Hobbit in that there's a lot of traveling/walking, and most of the action takes place while on the move. Personally, I've always liked that format of fantasy - not sure why it appeals to me so much, but it does. :)
I can't wait until Mull publishes another book! :)
See my review of the second book, Seeds of Rebellion.
Loving the cover and I'm intrigued to learn more about the world created by this author.
ReplyDeleteThese really do sound like fun. I also like the fact that there is a lot of originality to the books. Too many books in this genre are cliched.
