A review by orcaseatingstrawberries
A World Without Heroes by Brandon Mull

4.0

I'd rate the first half of the book at 3 and the second half at four, but at the same time the world he's building gets so much more interesting partway through, that I just can't wait to see what happens next.

A couple of unusual ideas that I've never seen used before (well, one I saw on Mythbusters, but I'd never have thought it'd be in any novel, let alone a fantasy one, and it's use is wonderfully clever and makes sense).
