The Beyonders is a young adult fantasy novel series, written by Brandon Mull (who also wrote Fablehaven and The Candy Shop War). It marks Mull's first foray into high fantasy. However, like his other novels, this take on the genre is a little bit weirder than usual... And it's also really, really dark, especially considering its target audience.Jason thinks he's going crazy when he hears music coming from the hippo's mouth at the zoo. He just has to lean in for a closer listen—and when he does, it's not surprising that he ends up swallowed by the hippo. But he doesn't end up in the hippo's stomach. He finds himself at the base of a rotting tree stump by a river, as a group of musicians drifts to their deaths. One horribly bungled attempt at saving them from a Suicide Pact later, and he ends up at a strange library-like place called the Repository of Knowledge, getting a crash-course in the history of the world he's stumbled into.He has entered Lyrian. And while people from his world have wound up there before, "Beyonders" such as him have been unknown for quite some time. Emperor Maldor won't stand for that kind of talk. Maldor has been suppressing all kinds of "dangerous" ideas, and to be absolutely sure that no one stands against him in this, he's systematically broken (or bought out) all of the land's heroes. Even with heroes, though, he would be difficult to stop, as he's the world's only remaining wizard.Jason would probably be able to lie low for a good long while in the Repository, if he didn't take some Schmuck Bait and read the Book of Salzared. He accidentally learns of Maldor's Achilles Heel: long ago, when he was but an apprentice, his teacher built a magical failsafe called a Key Word into him. Whoever speaks this word to Maldor will obliterate him. But the syllables are broken up and scattered so that none may casually speak it. Unfortunately, Maldor quickly learns of Jason's knowledge. Now Jason's best chance for survival is to seek the rest of the word's syllables and try to destroy Maldor.Luckily, he is joined in his quest by Rachel—another Beyonder like him who fell through at the same time he did. But even together, will they survive Maldor's tests to destroy him once and for all?Troper General's Warning: Due to the Wham Episode-laden, twisty and turny nature of this series, this tropes list is by necessity a minefield of spoilers. Read at your own risk.

Dying Race
 The Beyonders / int_1044a759
comment
Dying Race: Wizardborn races tend to have this problem. Displacers suffer from almost no females, due to an inbuilt bias in their genes against having female children. The Amar Kabal are populous and live many lives, but most of them have become infertile. The drinlings were nearly hunted to extinction, but unlike most wizardborns, they were intended to breed quickly, so they've been making a recovery.

Short-Lived Organism: Drinlings tend to live no longer than ten years, aging and maturing fast. Unlike the other Wizardborn, however, they're also capable of breeding true, meaning that their population has been making a steady recovery.

 The Beyonders / int_20e6a6e7
comment
It Only Works Once: If Maldor sends a torivor to duel, then it's almost guaranteed to kill the person he sent it after. However, once it has killed its assigned victim the torivor is freed from its binding and can return to wherever it is they come from. Since Maldor has neither the power nor the knowledge to summon more torivors, he rarely uses this option.

Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism
 The Beyonders / int_372bc105
comment
Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: In comparison to Fablehaven and The Candy Shop War, which were more idealistic (even at their darkest), this series is way, way, way more cynical and dark. That said, however, it still presents that surprisingly idealistic message that nothing will get better unless you work for it—and it is always worth it to try.

The Empire: A peculiar take on it. Maldor doesn't really let people travel or communicate, so his lands aren't necessarily unified. He just terrorizes uniformly enough to be in charge. He's also setting up and manipulating different forms of ruling as experiments, to see which form of government works best, once he gets down to consolidating them.

Collector of Forms
 The Beyonders / int_75470730
comment
Collector of Forms: In Chasing The Prophecy we're introduced to The Guardian, a magical creature apparently protecting the Celestine Library on Windbreak Island. While not a true shape shifter per se, the creature does have the ability to take on the characteristics and attributes of different materials, making it quite formidable. The Guardian cannot mimic any material it has not come in contact with, but it can recall materials from it's past, and it's been instilled with a sense of curiosity, driven to touch any unfamiliar objects it encounters so that it can learn its nature and mimic its form. The Guardian is ultimately defeated by this when the heroes trick it into mimicking a particularly volatile mineral that explodes when exposed to oxygen.

Neutral Female: Discussed and defied. Rachel is Genre Savvy about girls not getting to do things, especially since Lyrian is still unfair to women. Thus, she insists on doing her part, and when Jason initially charges on ahead without her, she makes him promise that "The next cliff is mine"—I.E., she takes the next big risk. It ends up being Whitelake, and she performs beyond admirably.

Immortality Begins at Twenty
 The Beyonders / int_7ffca8c4
comment
Immortality Begins at Twenty: Invoked by the Amar Kabal, who have Resurrective Immortality. The first time they die, their body "locks" the state of their body at the time of their death and treats it as the "template" for all their future resurrections. On their first life, they deliberately commit suicide at 20 or so to ensure they always begin from a young and strong template on every life thereafter. One of the Amar Kabal elders first died accidentally as a young girl, so she has a childlike body when we first meet her despite being dozens (if not hundreds) of lifetimes old.

Proud Warrior Race Guy The Amar Kabal (seedmen), who regrow from seeds when they die (provided their seed is not destroyed or stranded.)

Foreshadowing: In the first book, it is a mentioned, as a once off, that Orantium was mined at a now lost location known as Mount Allowat. This, along with The Prophecy describing hope as a 'flash of white' sets up for how Maldor his defeated. It turns out that the mountain upon which his otherwise impentrable fortress stands is Mount Allowat. Take a wild guess as to what ends up happening.

Feminist Fantasy: Not just in the fact that there's a female protagonist and lots of badass female supporting characters, but heroine Rachel is also Genre Savvy about things such as the Neutral Female and the gender inequality inherent in the medieval Lyrian. She actively seeks to avoid it, and knows that she has to work harder to prove herself to most of the people of this less enlightened world. (Except for the Amar Kabal, which she openly notes are more feminist.)

There's also orantium, which is, essentially, an alkalai metal on steroids. It explodes on contact with air or water, and has to be sealed in a "pure gas" (I.E., a noble gas) to keep from reacting. Although its reaction is abnormally violent, it is otherwise accurate to its elemental origins.

Action Girl: Rachel; quite insistantly so, in fact, since she's Genre Savvy about Neutral Female and refuses to let it happen to her. Corinne is also quite the duelist.

Words Can Break My Bones It doesn't work so well on Maldor, but Orruck, on the other hand...

Reasonable Authority Figure
 The Beyonders / int_dca70c44
comment
Reasonable Authority Figure: Dolan. He's not as noble as Galloran, and he's definitely self-serving, but he does not ultimately seem to be a bad person, and he is sympathetic to Jason.

Determinator: Nedwin. When he's killed by Copernum, what's his response? Become a zombie.

comment
Younger Than They Look: Due to the torture he suffered at the hands of Maldor, Galloran resembles an old man, with whitened hair, a raspy voice, and blinded eyes. He's actually only in his forties or so.

Redemption Equals Death
 The Beyonders / int_f1492605
comment
Redemption Equals Death: Ferrin, alongside Tark, ignites the long lost Orantium mines beneath Maldor's fortress, killing them both while also saving the day. This more than makes up for the misdeeds he initially committed.

Shown Their Work: Whitelake, the supposedly cursed lake in which everything sinks, is a non-Newtonian fluid and behaves correctly for one. There's also orantium, which is, essentially, an alkalai metal on steroids. It explodes on contact with air or water, and has to be sealed in a "pure gas" (I.E., a noble gas) to keep from reacting. Although its reaction is abnormally violent, it is otherwise accurate to its elemental origins.

Death Seeker: Drake is an unusual case. Since his race regrow from seeds, he's mostly just been seeking interesting ways to die or waste away to cure his boredom. However, it's over now, since his seed has failed to form properly.
