2015's Secret Wars Vol.1 #5 (turning 10 these days ; feel old yet ?) cover by cover artist Alex Ross.

Literally anyone with any sense: don’t touch the torivors or try to fight them, they can kill you

Galloran: hold my blindfold

#I’m still not over that it was EPIC #like I knew how he did it as soon as he started fighting it because duh but still #the beyonders #beyonders #brandon mull #galloran

I'm doing a reading for a class that I withdrew from. It's an excerpt from a book about teaching, and the excerpt itself is about the refusal to learn. The author goes into detail about the difference between refusal to learn and failure to learn, and about why refusal to learn is a concept with its own merit. The price of refusal and its reward are pretty intertwined - you don't get to participate as fully with people who do learn, which can be a wanted or unwanted thing; you are set apart in status from those who learn, which again can be wanted/unwanted; you don't have your mindset changed, etc. etc.

I found it a very fascinating excerpt, though I haven't finished it yet.

#reminds me of the scene in The Beyonders (the last book) when the displacer guy tells one of the MC's how to accurately #consider the pros and cons of “defecting” to the other side #and also (and take this book with a grain of salt as it is...shall we say authoritative (I like it though))#in The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People the author talks about “natural consequences” i.e. not the socially enforced consequences bu #what would happen no matter what. In his example he talked about a student skipping class to go to a tournament. The natural consequence #would be missing class and missing out on the learning. Which he said was fine but that it needed to be considered/acknowledged #The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People #The Beyonders #runnerpost

Did anyone else ever read The Beyonders by Brandon Mull? Because I’ve been thinking about it again and i’m just marveling over some of the stuff that happens despite the book being for middle schoolers. Maybe even younger than middle school. The main characters are 13, and the intended audience is usually a little younger than the main characters.

The main character is a 13 year old boy who gets isekaied into a fantasy word on the verge of being fully conquered by some ancient wizarding horror. There is a girl who is the same age as him, but the entire rest of the adventuring party are adults. There is torture and pretty graphic violence. The final book depicts an entire war campaign and ends by blowing up a populated mountain. It feels like an adult fantasy novel with the bare minimum of edits made to make it a middle grade novel. It’s weird. I liked it a lot.

if I had a nickel for every time one of my favorite fantasy authors was a mormon I’d have three nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened thrice

#and there are actually a few more off the top of my head but they aren't my favorites #shannon hale #jessica day george #brandon mull #goose girl #princess academy #sun and moon ice and snow #princess of the midnight ball #dragon slippers #the beyonders #the others are richard paul evans and brandon sanderson #thoughts I have when I should be sleeping #jext

So, because I'm bored, I have a question for any of my followers that might see this.

Have you read any Brandon Mull books?

If so, do share! I love to hear that other people read books from a great author.
