A NATIONAL BESTSELLER!

“WITTY, ROMANTIC, AND ADDICTIVELY FUN!” —Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop

Ten years ago, they saved the realm—and it ruined their lives. Now, four former heroes must reunite, and hopefully live to tell the tale, in this charming romantasy about friendship and redemption, perfect for readers of Legends & Lattes and lovers of Shrek.

Everyone in Mythria knows the story of how best friends Beatrice and Elowen, handsome ex-bandit Clare, and valiant leader Galwell the Great defended the realm from darkness. It’s a tale beloved by all—except them. They haven’t spoken in a decade, devastated by what their quest cost them.

But when they all receive an invitation to the queen of Mythria’s wedding, it’s a summons they can’t refuse . . . and a reunion for the ages—with Clare secretly not over his long-ago fling with Beatrice, Beatrice fighting the guilt she feels over how everything ended, Elowen unprepared for the return of her ex-love (the cunning Vandra), and all of them lost without Galwell. And if reuniting with former friends and lovers wasn’t perilous enough, dark forces from their past have also returned.

Dusting off old weapons and old instincts, Beatrice, Clare, and Elowen will face undead nemeses, crystal caves, enchanted swords, coffee shops, games of magical Truth or Dare, and, hardest of all, their past rife with wounds never healed and romances never forgotten.

This time around, will their story end in happily ever after?

This Will Be Fun is a slow burn, cozy quest romantasy with Shrek and The Princess Bride vibes featuring:

  • Second chance romance
  • Found family
  • Questmates-with-benefits
  • Friends to enemies to friends (to lovers?)
  • Slow burn

Something about the writing style.. I want to keep listening for the characters, but I'm never fully absorbed by the book. The pace of the story is slower than I usually prefer, but that's not the reason I can't get as invested as I'd like to. idk. Never boring but somehow still a bit of a slog. I loved the climax of the main conflict and the various resolutions at the end. It will be interesting to see how things develop in the next book, if I get there. Some of the anachronisms were so described that it pulled me out of the story, while others I didn't mind as much. Mainly, it depended on how detailed the stand-ins were and just how far removed from the general world of the book they seemed (some were a little too modern). Narration (of the audiobook) was great. All three did a great job of maintaining distinct voices for the different characters, and the characters actually sounded similar-ish between narrators, which is wicked rare. Solid acting too. Clare MVP.
