Where to start with Brandon Mull
Begin with the Fablehaven series, starting with Rise of the Evening Star. This book introduces the hidden world of Fablehaven, a sanctuary for magical creatures, and follows a young boy who discovers its secrets. Proceed with the series in publication order, as each book continues the story of the sanctuary and the challenges it faces. After completing Fablehaven, move to Dragonwatch, beginning with Dragonwatch, which follows a new group of guardians protecting a secret society of dragons. Continue with the Beyonders trilogy, starting with A World Without Heroes, which explores a realm where magic has vanished and a boy must restore it. Finally, explore the Five Kingdoms series with The Bag of Bones, the first book in a story centered on a boy who inherits a mysterious magical item. All series are standalone in their narrative arcs but share a common tone and imaginative world-building.
