In a nutshell: Everyone's favorite band of misfit princes is back for another series of sordid events. This time, they're trying to save Prince Liam from his not-so-nice bride-to-be, but that escapade turns into a quest for the Sword of Erinthia, which is being held in the Bandit King's castle. This journey involves trolls, giants, snakes, Darians, and much much more! Can they be successful again? Can they overcome their own blunders to get the job done?
I'd recommend it for: Grades 5+. Adults would love this one, too!
I'd recommend it to: Anyone who loves fairy tales and new spins on them. Also, anyone who appreciates a little bit of "cheesy" every now and then.
What I liked most about this book: Healy makes sure you never know what might happen next. The events of this book are so random and hilarious that you never want to put it down! Once you've started reading a book in this series, you're hooked must find out what the princes will do next.
Single favorite moment (without getting spoiler-y): There are a few interactions between a geriatric giant and a tenacious troll that make you laugh until you cry.
Star rating (where 5 stars is awesome and 0 stars is atrocious): 5 stars! Hands down!
