I am sad to see this series end. I have really enjoyed it. Christopher
Healy has created such a humorous world and lovable characters. All of our heroes and heroines are on the run
since they have become the prime suspects to Briar’s purported murder! All of the princes and princesses have a lot
of story time in this novel – which is awesome, but at times cumbersome to keep
track of who is where and doing what.
This was a pretty long book for a middle-grade book, but
there were very few parts that were slow. One specific part that I thought was
slow and took up a lot of time was when every single one of them made a wish
from the genie… while it was one of the more humorous scenes, it also took up a
lot of time all in one place without actually gaining much from the scene.
New characters are met in this book on a pirate ship, and
old characters arrive again, either to help our heroes or to hinder them. Who
is working with Rundark against the princes? How are they controlling all the
different kingdoms? I love that their
plans never work out the way they are planned, although they somehow always win
anyway!
I think Lila and Gustav were my favorites in this book. They
had some good storylines and character development. I wasn’t as big of a fan of Liam in this book
as I was in the first book. Duncan is still just as annoying as he always has
been.
I really liked that this was a group of unlikely heroes who
want to do good and manage to do so in unique ways. Each one has their strengths
and they always find a way to use that in their favor. It was a really good
story and satisfying ending.
