The Damning Stone by TJ Klune

4.0

The long awaited book #5 is finally upon us!!! I've spent so much time imagining Justin's story. So have many others. And it looks like TJ Klune combed through the most popular fanfics on AO3 and picked out fan favorites. This means we get delighted by the return of some old goodies like truth corn, the cheesy dicks song, Tiggy's brooms, and crazy fangirls/boys like Tina De Silva. On the negative side I feel like we didn't get as much Justin. I was so looking forward to the prince's story. To get to know him better and have him go on his own journey. This felt more like he got dragged along another one of Sam's adventures. Even his reactions felt like a watered down Sam. I didn't get that Justin vibe I was looking for. Which is why I'm not scoring this a perfect 5 star read. But it's still a funny book full of magic, shenanigans and sex puns. And Michael Lesley narrated! So still an awesome read/listen.
