A NATIONAL BESTSELLER!

"WITTY, ROMANTIC, AND ADDICTIVELY FUN!" —Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop

Ten years ago, they saved the realm—and it ruined their lives. Now, four former heroes must reunite, and hopefully live to tell the tale, in this charming romantasy about friendship and redemption, perfect for readers of Legends & Lattes and lovers of Shrek.

Everyone in Mythria knows the story of how best friends Beatrice and Elowen, handsome ex-bandit Clare, and valiant leader Galwell the Great defended the realm from darkness. It's a tale beloved by all—except them. They haven't spoken in a decade, devastated by what their quest cost them.

But when they all receive an invitation to the queen of Mythria's wedding, it's a summons they can't refuse . . . and a reunion for the ages—with Clare secretly not over his long-ago fling with Beatrice, Beatrice fighting the guilt she feels over how everything ended, Elowen unprepared for the return of her ex-love (the cunning Vandra), and all of them lost without Galwell. And if reuniting with former friends and lovers wasn't perilous enough, dark forces from their past have also returned.

Dusting off old weapons and old instincts, Beatrice, Clare, and Elowen will face undead nemeses, crystal caves, enchanted swords, coffee shops, games of magical Truth or Dare, and, hardest of all, their past rife with wounds never healed and romances never forgotten.

This time around, will their story end in happily ever after?

This Will Be Fun is a slow burn, cozy quest romantasy with Shrek and The Princess Bride vibes featuring:

  • Second chance romance
  • Found family
  • Questmates-with-benefits
  • Friends to enemies to friends (to lovers?)

        This cozy, romantic audiobook shines with personality and heartfelt emotion. Four champions saved the realm of Mythria from evil 10 years ago, but only three survived. January LaVoy voices Beatrice's grief and regret as she dwells on the past. Her ex, Sir Clare, is voiced by Alexander Cendese with optimism that hides the feelings he still holds for Beatrice. Elowen, voiced by Hope Newhouse, isolates herself entirely. But when her ex shows up to escort her to the queen's wedding, Newhouse infuses emotional turmoil and confusion in her delivery, effectively illustrating Elowen's empathic ability. All three narrators consistently wield a variety of accents and cadences to help listeners distinguish characters regardless of which narrator speaks. A.K.R. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine

        Ten years ago, the Four, a ragtag group of magical friends, valiantly saved the land of Mythria; unfortunately, they sacrificed their leader and destroyed their friendship in the process. Now they're reunited for a royal wedding and maybe a chance at redemption. Beatrice is fresh off a divorce, Clare lives for his fans and not for himself, and Elowen is hardly living at all after a decade hiding from society. When the fourth member of the Four, the groom, goes missing, the erstwhile heroes must again join forces on a quest to bring him home. Authors Bridget Morrissey, Emily Wibberley, and Austin Siegemund-Broka make their collaborative debut under a pen name with this fun blend of fantasy and second-chance romance, both straight and queer. Narrators Alexander Cendese, January LaVoy, and Hope Newhouse give unique voices to their respective hero or heroine, along with the entire cast of characters. Together, the trio turns this sweet, steamy story into an enchanting listening experience. VERDICT This audio will appeal to listeners seeking a witty, whimsical fantasy and reunion rom-com mashup. Recommended for fans of Sarah Beth Durst, Travis Baldree, and Rebecca Thorne.--Lauren Hackert
