Spiritual Content: Not much, but many of the Epics are almost regarded as gods and certainly have no issue presenting themselves as such. The main character (David) ogles a character he finds attractive. The violence isn’t overly descriptive, but the book is still violent throughout. Many characters, particularly the Reckoners, use guns, knives, and explosives to take on the Epics. The lead character witnesses his father die. We see people dying in large volumes as Epics show little regard for human life. Violence: There is a fair amount of violence here. I was certainly intrigued, but let’s find out if it is worth our time and money, shall we?

After all, it takes only one second for him to notice Sebastian Brother, the Mormon prodigy who sold his own Seminar novel the year before and who now mentors the class. Love, loss, friendship, and the betrayals of the past all collide in this first fiction novel from New York Times and 1 international bestselling author Christina Lauren (Autoboyography, Dating You Hating You).

The book features only Reynie’s thoughts and insights, which is one downfall of the book. ![]() The Mysterious Benedict Society is a classic mystery and adventure book, that I would highly recommend for you to read!
