The Heroes Guide to Storming the Castle, Christopher Healy, Walden Pond Press, New York, 2013.
This
book is a fun ride. It is the sequel to “The heroes Guide to Saving
Your Kingdom”. For the most part, it has the same characters, except
for adding the really bad people from Dar. They intermingle with the
robbers of Rauberia, and threaten the world.
But
I am getting ahead of myself. This book starts with the forced
marriage of Briar Rose and Liam, or sleeping beauty and her Prince
Charming. Turned out in the last book, Liam wanted out of the marriage,
but Briar rose could not have that. In addition, Briar has a plot to
steal a sword with magical powers from the robbers Rauber. This is the
sword of Arinthia, the which was stolen by Deeb Rauber and his men, but
they do not know its magical powers. Liam and the Order of Prince
Charming are given the task. They recruit a troll, a giantess, Rapunzel
who is a healer, a bounty hunter, Liam’s sister Lila who is also adept
and getting into small places, Snow White, Ella (Cinderella) as well as
the original order of the four Princes Charming, and they are off.
Unfortunately they also recruit someone to pretend to be a thief; but
turns out to really be a thief. Everything goes wrong, or at least not
like they had planned it.
This
is a very enjoyable book and I recommend it highly. It leaves things
in the air, and the next book has not come out yet which is a bit
frustrating.
