Review of 'A World without Heroes' on 'Storygraph'

I had to stop in the middle to read Insurgent, but all in all I enjoyed this book. I realized near the end that it was similar to the Fablehaven series in the "scavenger hunt" nature of the plot. It is a book targeted at a little younger audience than most of my recent "young adult" reads, but that is a nice change of pace sometimes. It's a bit more innocent. I liked the "other world" and "beyond" setting, had a slight Narnian quality to it in that way.
