Awesome, slightly more intense sequel.
Если первая книга это чудоковатая и смешная история, немножко сумасшедшая и яркая, но в действительности несерьёзная и сказочная, то вторая... Она начинается так же бойко и красочно, герои чудят и ведут себя соответственно характеру и увлечениям, однако чем дальше в историю, тем более мрачной она становится. Герои начинают думать не только о приключениях, но и как выйти из них живыми. Они ревнуют, ссорятся и мирятся, переживают экзистенциальный кризис и делают переоценку ценностей, растут над собой. Очень крутое развитие персонажей, когда за юмористическим флером начинаешь видеть людей с их переживаниями и проблемами, мыслями и чувствами.
Последняя глава (и кусочек после) оставляют после себя тягостное впечатление: сказка закончилась, приключение тоже, а в суровых буднях не так уж и весело. И уж совершенно точно не понятно, как жить дальше, когда никто ничего от тебя не ждёт.

This series is such a delight! I am loving these characters! The humor is the best! Can't wait to see how the story ends!
Such a fun story! However, this one was a bit more, shall I say, violent, than the first book. I guess it's to be expected when you have the most fierce and bloodthirsty warlord playing a central role in the story. I enjoyed this book for the most part, and the characters were as charming and likeable as they were in the first, but there were moments that made me cringe because I thought it was a bit more violent than a book targeted to younger readers should be. Don't get me wrong, it was never bloody or anything, but rather was kinda slapsticky violent, if you know what I mean. Like, for example, men being thrown from a window into a moat of flesh-eating eels or a plate being thrown clear through a man, etc. It was never detailed in any way, but it was more than I expected after having read the first novel in the series. Personally, I'd wait to give this book to the young reader because of those things I mentioned.

Low on plot, high on hilarity and lovable characters. One of my favorites for fairytale parody.
My favourites are Briar and Lila. I expected to love Lila (she is amazing), but my sudden love for Briar was entirely unexpected. She is just so amazing though. *makes a banner asking her to marry me*
Amusing - with some mild angst to keep it interesting. I'm looking forward to the next installment of the adventures of the Princes Charming and their miscellaneous damsels in distress.
