The Unwanteds is about a boy just turning 13, named Alex. Alongside other 13-year-olds, Alex was decided that he was “unwanted” by the society of Quill, which is the main nation they lived in and therefore will be eliminated. Right when Alex is about to meet his demise, the 13-year-olds are saved by someone named Mr. Today who trains them in a place called Artime to have a war against Quill. When first reading the book, it was instantly a favorite. The charming characters and the cool and interesting concepts, such as using creativity against war machines. With this, however, the book has a pretty standard general plot. The same hero’s journey path was overused, although a bit better than most, but still a bit bland. I enjoyed reading the book, and if one enjoys reading fantasy and action novels, this one is perfect! Once you finish the first one as well, there are multiple sequels to continue the story!
