Less strong than its predecessor, it's still fun to catch up with the characters from the first book, and the expanded stories for characters like Briar Rose and Snow White are absolutely welcome.
The unlikely heros are back and funnier then ever!
While hiding away from the world after the bards got their story wrong agian, the princes are back in thier home countries and trying to get back to real life. The only problem is they are all just itching for another adventure. But it isn't long until they partner up agian as Briar Rose (the spoiled and bratty Sleeping Beauty) has kidnapped Prince Liam and plans on marrying him agianst his will!
Ella, Frederic, Duncan and Gustav attempt to save the day but as they've been out of practice and they are missing thier 'Idea man', things go horribly wrong. Briar Rose and Liam are married and the crew put in jail. They don't stay in their long, however as Briar Rose has an idea to capture a sword stolen by the infamous (and very young) Bandit King and it involves the Princes as bait.
I really enjoyed this book. It made me laugh, it made me gasp (Brair Rose and Liam CAN'T be married!) and it made me turn the pages in a mad rush to find out what happens!
Its such a silly little book with a great adventure story and wonderfully likeable characters. The best by far is of course Prince Duncan who makes me laugh everytime he is on the page!
I would highly reccommend this to all kids, all adults, well just everyone who likes to smile!!
More please Mr. Healy!

Another fun adventure. Great to see the characters grow and I'm interested to find out where the League of Princes goes from here.
A fun goofy read. I think kids would really enjoy this one. As an adult I appreciated it for its light humor and wildly silly but loveable cast of characters.
every now and then I would read, it not constantly.
*A wonderful follow-up to the first Hero's Guide. I was worried that it wouldn't be as good (sequel-syndrome), but the characters grew, the story moved along nicely, and it made me even more excited for book 3. Everyone's place in the group is questioned in this book, including their place within their relationships.
I read this book for a different purpose than just to review, I wanted to really look at the princesses in the book for our girl power series we'll be doing at the end of the month and I am so impressed at the different personalities and how each princess is so unique.

Enjoyable - a little slow in the middle, but I think that was me, not the book. Great characters again and an interesting adventure.
These books are so fun. This one was heavily focused on Liam and Frederick in particular, with chapters from Briar Rose's pov as well, which was a nice change. The book ends on a cliffhanger, getting you interested and ready for the final book in this trilogy, which I am hoping to pick up soon. I had a great time with this, as the Princes Charming attempt to recover a stolen heirloom sword from the Bandit King, and the danger ramps up with the introduction of some truly dangerous characters as well. Looking forward to seeing what the Princes (and their princesses) get up to next!
I’m pretty sure I will love anything this guy writes. Such a great sense of humor and very well written.
