This delightful romantasy, brimming with wit and second chances, transported me to the whimsical realm of Mythria! A world where enchanted truth or dare exists, coffee shops are commonplace, and bath bombs contain magic? Sign me up! Little things like "spell service" really sold the realm for me. Also, I just know Harpy and Hind's makes a delectable iced chai. I want t0 go to there.
"When life left one little to care about, one could care very deeply about very little."
The unique premise of a "successful" quest having devastating consequences for the heroes is refreshing. The aftermath explored the characters' trauma and subsequent growth in a believable way. Clare's transformation from people-pleaser to his authentic self was particularly satisfying. Clare's character arc specifically shines as he sheds the burden of expectations culminating in the hilarious Clare Convention. Beatrice's journey from quilt-ridden warrior to a woman embracing vulnerability resonated deeply. Her interactions with Clare sizzled with a Much Ado About Nothing/Anyone But You energy, a potent mix of past hurts and undeniable chemistry. Further. doing a sequel-esque story without actually having the first book is a tricky-task, which was executed skillfully in this book. The history of each character was made evident, and details of their past were revealed with excellent timing.
I didn't expect to fall in love with the characters quite as much as I did, but the felt incredibly real. And to find out after finishing this that the authors (yes, plural) don't have real experience in this genre? Just, wow. They honestly did an amazing job convincing readers that they are extremely capable romantasy writers. The seamless collaboration between three authors is a testament to their storytelling talent, leaving you eager for their next adventure.
"We've firmly established I'm no gentleman, Beatrice. Not with you."
With its witty dialogue, relatable characters, and surprising depth, This Will Be Fun is a must-read for fans of fantasy romcoms.
"We're not who we used to be."
Thank you to Netgalley, Avon and Harper Voyager, and E.B. Asher for giving me this ARC in exchange for my honest review!
