The Hero's Guide to Storming the Castle
by Christopher Healy
By any other standard, this is a good book. By the standard set by the first book... this one sucks. I'm sorry. There's no delicate way to put it, I was completely disappointed by how badly it compares.
There's very little character growth. In fact, sometimes it felt like the characters regressed back to how they were at the start of the first book. The one positive surprise was Briar, so you know something's off when I'm rooting for the mean, manipulative princess whoforced Liam to marry her . The jokes are not so funny the second time around, and there were no laugh-out-loud moments this time.
The ending was an abrupt, sad mess, and now I've got to read the third book or be left hanging. With this mindset, it's obvious that I'm so not going to enjoy it. Plus, it's obvious that it's heading towards every prince finding their twu wuv, andFrederic-Rapunzel-Gustav are having the same dumb "in love with her but mistakenly believes she's in love with someone else" bullpoop plot that Liam-Ella-Frederic had in the first book.
The first book was absolutely perfect on its own, stretching it into a trilogy kills it.
