Magical Mayhem #1
To Prevent World Peace
The villains are dead. The world is at peace. And now the magical girls want to conquer it. Chronos has the power to see the future, and that's the future Chronos foresees. All she wants is to get a good night's sleep, so she decides to have a simple conversation with the fated ringleader in hopes that it will set that horrible future straight. But Kendra is not an easy person to convince. Kendra wants to save the world. And if she has to cram that down the world's throat, well, so be it.

This is a cute novelette. Young girls often have magic until they get too old. Chronos is a mage who tries to avoid the rest of the world but keeps seeing visions of the future in which one magic girl is enforcing world peace at all costs, with disastrous consequences. Now Chronos has to convince this girl to take a different path. Let’s see how that works out. This is the first “episode” of the Magical Mayhem story.
The writing is solid with very few errors; the characters work well; pacing is good. I really don’t have anything to nitpick.

To Prevent World Peace is the first book in Emily Martha Sorensen’s Magical Mayhem series. It’s an extremely short read, one you can complete in under an hour, but it will leave you interested in finding out more.
For me, I felt as though this had an anime feel about it. It was as though I was reading an anime rather than watching it, noticing quite a few of the elements of high school magical girl anime within this novel. Without a doubt, it’s certainly something that will interest people who enjoy such anime – it’s short and sweet, straight to the point, pulling you in as it leaves you wanting more.
Although it is an extremely short read, we get plenty of information across the four chapters to have a general understanding of the world and what is to come in the future books. Ideas will form in your mind, but you will be left unsure as to what will actually happen. It certainly leaves you wanting to dive straight into the next story, curious as to what will come next.
The only thing that prevented me from truly enjoying it was something that is a personal preference of my own. I prefer to understand magical worlds and systems, and with this one we’re simply thrown into it. There were some comments made to give us a bit of an understanding, but I’m hoping these details will be explained in the future stories. Certainly, for a story of this length, I can understand why the details weren’t given in great depth – and, as I said, it’s mostly just a personal preference of mine anyway.
Overall, this was a nice little read to pass a short time period. It’ll leave you excited to jump into the next story, curious for what comes next.

I’ve wanted to read this book ever since seeing the opening scenes from the webcomic version in one of Emily Martha Sorensen’s newsletters.
At first, I had trouble figuring out the actual plot of this book. There is a character who can see the future, and it was difficult in some places to tell what was happening ‘now’ and what was part of this character’s future vision.
Chronos is a born mage, the girl who can see the future. Kendra is a magical girl, leader of the team ‘Wings of Justice.’ Chronos has been having nightmares about a future in which Kendra is leading an organization of magical girls as they attempt to take over the world in the name of world peace. She wants to make the dreams stop.
Kendra believes that magic will keep her from doing anything evil since a magical girl must be pure to acquire magic in the first place. But she has a rather large ego, and always wants (as my mother used to put it) to have things her own way.
So Chronos decides to show Kendra the future. And Kendra’s solution to being the cause of so much evil is shocking, to say the least.

Humorous and entertaining short tale about magical powers and its corrupting potential.
Kendra is a bossy and self-aware teenager, being one of the Magical Girls - having the advantage of transforming and using magical powers, mostly in order to help others. But her opinions about saving the world are rather radical, and coupled with her young age and typical teenage problems, her fiery determination might bring the world into a disastrous war. Not listening to her best friend Florence who always tries to calm her temper and point out the catches in Kendra´s attitude, the visionary and born mage Chronos must share her vision with the young Magical Girl to prevent a war. But the result is not as expected.
I love this author´s knack for creating obnoxious and annoying heroines you would adore despite their terrible behavior. I had the moments when I wanted to kick Kendra in her head to make her realize the stupidity of her actions and the immaturity of her thinking, but I don´t think it would help :) I also loved Chronos for being her total opposite, introvert to extended limits, avoiding any social contact if possible, and suffering from nightmares showing the probable future paths of some people. This unlikely twosome ending together might bring us some turmoil and funny situations, I bet.

To Prevent World Peace by Emily Martha Sorensen is the first book of the Magical Mayhem series. It is written in third-person and is mostly from two different characters perspectives. Chronos, a born mage with the ability to see the future whose family just happen to be villains; and Kendra, a fifteen-year-old magical girl whose future self is becoming more and more likely to end up destroying the world.
This book is fantastic, I was unable to put it down. I'm no stranger to anime with magical girls, and this book was like reading an anime. Everything we love about magical girl anime are depicted in this story; transformations, magical attacks, focus items, silly crushes, and secret identities. The descriptions are spot on too, I could see Kendra's transformations playing out as if I were watching it.
The characters are interesting, especially Chronos and Kendra; and the plot is intriguing. The end was great and left me wanting more. The only complaint I can think of is I would have liked it to be longer. I really enjoyed reading this one and can't wait to read the next!

I received a free copy of this book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.
I have never read anything that is, or is like anime so I was surprised how much I enjoyed this story. The characters were well developed, and the writing was sharp and well done. The plot was a little confusing to me at first but quickly became clear as I read further into the story.
The main character, Kendra, is a Magical Girl and determined to do good in and for the world. She believes she knows best and argues with her friends to convince them to do things her way. Her arrogance seems to be leading her down a path even she does not want. And then Chronos, a born mage, attempts to show her the error of her ways.
Will Kendra learn the lesson she needs or is she too blind to see?

I used to watch magical girl shows quite a bit, and really like getting to read about them growing up a bit. The author has created a world that I would have delighted in living in. I would have wanted my own magical powers, and I don’t know how I would handle some of the situations they find themselves in.
I find myself wanting to read more, and learn more about these characters. I have theories of how the friends will react to our heroine’s decisions, and I want to know if I’m right.

It’s short and a warming up for the rest of the series.
Chronos has a difficult task to do to get rid of her nightmares.
Sometimes it seems great to have a gift of premonition, but if it comes with nightmares? Not so great.
Kendra and her friends are misinformed and because of that they feel a little superior to others.
I really hope that Chronos can help them enough.

Can the future be changed by turning evil?
A really enjoyable light read that has the heroine turning into a villain to save the world. All because one of the Fates has interfered and now has to pay by herself turning bad. Great imagery evoked on the characters and a really great "alternative" read. Does she save the world by becoming bad. Hope so as have already bought the other books in the series. The author is really thinking outside the box on this one.

Interesting story.
Not my usual, but I received a free copy. I wasn't even asked for a review. Well written, interesting, and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. The characters are very well developed, and I was somewhat invested, even though it was obviously for a younger audience. If I was at least 40 years younger I would be following this series!

Changing The Future
In this, the first episode of a serial, we are introduced to three magical girls and a Greek figure from mythology, Chronos. A lot of threads are being introduced with hints of possible future events, so pay attention. If you are in middle school, you can probably pick out which of your friends you'd cast for each character. Remember crushing madly on a boy?

It was a quick read but enjoyable. In fact the ending has me looking forward to book 2. Even tho it is probably geared for young girls, I liked it. Fast paced book.
This was in the Magical Mayhem series, book 1.

Interesting Premise
This is a quick read, but very interesting. I like the idea and the characters and would be interested to learn more in other books. Especially good for young adolescents.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review
This was an odd book to read, for me because it concerned angels and the old Greek gods dueling/arguing about the fate of the world. The characters were interesting, even if somewhat confusing, plot interesting and odd.

Angelic Superheroes Unite!
If you like magical stories that blend halos and superheroes with gods and fate then you'll find this one delightful. Lots of action and careful contemplation will excite you and ultimately give you something to think about.

A dynamic novelette. The main characters have a depth of feeling about them. The ending twist was completely unexpected.
I was provided this book as an ARC. The review is my honest opinion.

Magical Mayhem Book 1 - To Prevent World Peace - Four Stars
The Magical Mayhem series is (so far) four books all titled To Prevent…
The first is To Prevent World Peace, the second … Chic Costumes, the third … Clear Paths, and the fourth, … Smart Choices. The announced fifth book, I suspect not the last, is To Prevent Warm Welcomes.
Ms Sorensen, a USA Best Selling author, is known for clean stories for middle grade and young adult audiences. This series hits YA targets throughout, in my opinion.
The books are all quick reads, four chapters long, and to be honest, might work better as one whole volume. I read them all in one sitting, and I do tend to binge read series, so your experience might be different. That said, I believe they should be read in order; too much is lost if the reader isn’t aware of previous events in the universe.
Obviously, then, To Prevent World Peace opens the story of Save-the-World magical girl Kendra, her magical girl team buddies, and Chronos, a hands-off mage who doesn’t want to be a villain, but would rather stay home than… than do anything, really. The conflict between good and I-don’t-care shows tantalizing hints, set in the framework of Kendra’s uncompromising belief in her ability to do good.
Until she declares she will be a magical girl no more. “I’ve decided,” Kendra said quietly, “to become… a villain instead.”
Kendra’s next step rocks into the rest of the series.
Ms Sorensen’s writing is crisp and eminently suitable for a YA reader. Or an adult one, for that matter.
While the book sort of completes an arc, for me it really felt too short. I took a star back for that. YMMV, of course.
I read the book on my Macbook Pro using the Kindle for Mac app; it worked perfectly. Also, I opened it on my Kindle Voyage and had no issues. I expect no problems using different hardware. I noticed no typos or other bothersome mechanical problems, just as I expect for Ms Sorensen’s work. The cover calls for a color display, but that’s the only loss moving to a monochrome device, and the contrast in the art allows the Voyage to render the cover nicely.
I recommend To Prevent World Peace to any reader looking for the beginning of an enjoyable, clean fantasy that doesn’t shy away from real-world problems.
Disclaimer: I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review, which you are reading here. I also purchased a copy, though it was free. This review will appear at Amazon and on my blog in slightly different form, and the portion dealing with the series will appear in reviews of the other three books.

To Prevent World Peace is the first story in the Magical Mayhem series. This is an extremely short story, but full of character. I really liked the theme and focus of this book. In a world of magical girls who are 'good' they are given powers at a young age to protect world peace. Kendra is presented with a moral dilemma when she finds out that not all pure hearted magical girls turn out good. When her enemy, mage born Chronos, sees the terrible future, Chronos embarks on her own journey to do what is right and not selfish.
I would recommend this story to a teenage audience (though as an adult I found it very interesting as well!) A great start to a series. I can't wait for the next!
Final Rating: 5 Stars

To Prevent World Peace is the first in the Magical Mayhem series of books, aimed at a pre-teen audience, and very much has the feel of a warm-up to set the stage for the main action.
The tone and pace reminded me very much of anime or comic book style, which made sense once I dug a little deeper online and found that there IS in fact a series of ‘magical girl’ web comics by this author (including this story).
I really like the idea of seeing things from the villain’s perspective, and that Kendra may be labelled a villain but actually have heroic motivation, whereas some of those labelled heroes may actually be corrupt.
I wasn’t exactly sure just from reading this installment what the differences are between the born mages and magical girls, and how both magic systems work (the talk of power ups and poses made me think of computer games like Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat). I’m not sure if that is because this is a world that has already been established and I am new to the set up, but with this being the first book in the Magical Mayhem series I would have expected more of an introduction to the world before the plot took over.
Having said that, the plot and characters were interesting and I was left intrigued to know more about Chronos, the possible futures she sees, and how Kendra and her ex-teammates fit into that. Plus the pending conflict between born mages, magical girls and ‘ordinary people’ has great potential.
All-in-all this was a nice quick read for teens and fans of anime-style cartoons/comics.

To Prevent World Peace - a review by Rosemary Kenny
For Fans of YA magical girl fantasy, with strong female MCs and unexpected endings, To Prevent World Peace (Book 1 in the Magical Mayhem series by Emily Martha Sorensen), is guaranteed to tick all your boxes for maximum reading pleasure, despite its strange title.
MCs are Chronos - a Greek god and Magical Girls Kendra, Florence and Felicity. The first of these, who can forsee the future, is plagued by dreadful nightmares about the MG 'Wings of Justice' (made up of the other three), that are getting steadily worse.
To block (she hopes), the prevention of world peace, Chronos appears to Kendra, (the MGWOJ leader) in the form of an old female hobo, persuading the girl to see what her future will bring if she doesn't accept that she may destroy world peace.
This tiny (45 pages) novelette disappointingly ends suddenly, without even a 'proper' cliffhanger - just at the end of a sentence - as Kendra decides she'll become evil, assuming this will make her lose her powers and prevent the apocalyptic battle between good and evil that may destroy Earth!
With another 5 installments already waiting in the wings (at the time of this review), Ms Sorensen might do well to publish all 5 together in one novel/box set and gain many more eager readers.

Really entertaining!
Chronos dreams of a future. The same dream, over and over. And it’s not a good dream. She wants the dream to stop. In order to do that, she has to prevent the dream from coming true. She has to prevent World Peace.
Kendra is a magical girl. Magical girls are all pure and innocent. They can’t be corrupt or they’ll lose their magic - or can they?
I found it a bit confusing in the beginning. We start the story in the future, then jump back to the present, then to further future, nearer future - a bit messy. Hard to keep track of what is ‘real’ and what is just a dream. A bit more worldbuilding was needed. But as I went on I started understanding. There’s a sense of brilliance in there. Or a sense of craziness? LOL. I really liked it! I think this would be called a novelette? It’s a fast read. Really entertaining!

DISCLAIMER: I received a free e-ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! All thoughts and opinions are my own! :D
I really enjoyed this first part of the Magical Mayhem series! I have never read a novel about magical girls, so this was a nice change of pace! The only real problem I had with this was that it felt unfinished, but I believe this was because it was only the first part of a much larger story.
I would recommend this if you're looking for a different kind of magical girl story. I can't wait to see where the series go from here! :D

Received from Author in exchange for honest review
To Prevent World Peace is first book in Magical Mayhem series. It sets the scene. I loved reading it, story is promising, it makes you want to read more about the world and what will happen next.
Chronos sees the future, but unlike her family, she is not a villain. When she sees Kendra leading magical girls conquering the world, she decides to visit her and convince her. It doesn't goes totally as planed. :)
I like Author's style of writing, it's fast paced, funny and pulls you right in. :)

A quick entertaining read, with a "to be continued" ending. Appears to be aimed more to a female (teenage) audience. With a world where magic is a female talent, limited to "good guys" who maintain world peace, and Mages, also all female, are the villains, or so it seems. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

88 pages of light, fun, interesting reading. Definitely a "chick book" that would appeal more to girls than boys as a whole. I enjoyed the start of this series and look forward to continuing. Very enjoyable.

It was a cute short clean read.
