"Mr. Average and the 12th Stone: Watch Your Mandibles is a high-quality read that delivers everything it promises," writes K.C. Finn in another 5-star editorial review for Readers' Favorite. "Ave is at his most relatable when he's caught between duty and personal desire ... Ben Run masterfully portrays his internal conflict ... through insightful close narration and dialogue-driven moments that let readers see between the lines."

"The novel also explores deep questions about free will, individual agency," continues K.C. Finn. "The way Run unpacks these themes gently and makes them a natural part of Ave's journey offers a powerful philosophical undertone that every good dystopian novel needs to give a poignant impact."
