Goodreads summary:
Prince Liam. Prince Frederic. Prince Duncan. Prince Gustav.
You've never heard of them, have you? These are the princes who saved Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Snow White and Rapunzel, but you probably know them all as 'Prince Charming'. Well, all that is about to change as the hapless princes stumble upon an evil plot and get a second chance to prove themselves true heroes.
Seriously, reading this book was one of my better decisions this month! It was SO MUCH FUN!
First off, you guys should know that I love fairytales. LOVE. And I love any book that deals with them or reads like one and this novel getting deeper into the different prince charmings out there is just SO MY THING!
I don't read many funny books, and I'm not sure why not, cause this was hilarious! I laughed out loud a couple of times, which earned me weird glances from the boyfriend at times. I loved getting to know the characters flaws and all and they've all earned a special place in my heart. But to be honest, I think my favourites are Liam and Duncan. Liam is what I'd want my prince charming to be like and Duncan is just so sweet! All four of them are great characters, but these two stole my heart.
I loved that we get to see them in their full glory and get a little more of a backstory on the princes, because, let's face it, it's mostly all about the princesses in fairytales. Most of them don't even have a name in the story and that's what's adressed in The Hero's Guide To Saving Your Kingdom.
I read this in no time at all and was highly entertained the whole time. The writing if witty, funny and engaging, I really fell for these characters and was rooting for them! It's a bit of a silly romp, but sometimes you need that in your life and it made for a great read-a-thon read! I already have The Hero's Guide To Storming The Castle staring at me, so I'll be reading that soon :)
My rating: 4,5 stars
I LOVE this book too! It's entertaining and fun! LOVE =)
ReplyDeleteLiam and Duncan were my favorites too :) Also, I kind of liked what a jerk Sleeping Beauty was. I mean she was terrible, but it was just so weird to see!
ReplyDeleteYou move fast, I'm waiting to see if the Storming the Castle is gonna get an audio version because the one for Saving Your Kingdom was GREAT.
ReplyDeleteBut... anyway, I'm so happy you loved this book!! :) I just ADORED it and I loved all the guys, they made me laugh so hard all the time. And I also cried a few times.
I was impressed by how fast this rather long book moved-it was a lot of fun and I enjoyed its twist on fairy tales.
