Medieval style romp with fun characters and a very interesting plot. Characters seemed fleshed out as if I missed the first book in a series that included all the character development and their backstories. Following a multi-cast of protagonists meant I didn’t really feel connected to any one more than another, and I didn’t really care about their journey with their partners.

This book has some pretty mixed reviews but I really enjoyed it. It gave me the same vibes, humor, and cozy feelings and Legends and Lattes. I would definitely recommend.

I love the premise of this book and I wish I would have loved this book more. The characters were fun, but it felt too contrived and the decisions they made at some points did not make sense. I will try this author again though!

I admit, this was indeed fun! This book started out a bit slow but this character combination and banter quickly made this book interesting! There is a little bit of romance, character development, and a very intriguing setting. I would have loved to have a bit more depth to our characters, I think that way I could connect to them a bit more. Again, I found this a bit tough to get into at the start but this was cozy and overall enjoyable!

I really wanted to get into this story and at first, I was.. until I wasn't.
The beginning pulled me in and I was so intrigued by the relationship between Clare and Beatrice. I wanted to know everything! Then the story continued and that initial pull didn't last. I felt like every scene just dragged on and I was slogging through the story.
Maybe it just wasn't for me.

DNF at 20%. I gave this two tries but could not get into it. Premise was interesting but I did not find either the characters or the writing style appealing.

Petition to change the title to “This will be Boring.”

This book was so stupid, which is harsh but I stand by my opinion.

I don’t mind mixing fantasy and the modern world, but it was overdone and half-baked in this book. There were equivalents to coffee shops, Uber rideshares, TV shows, therapy, football, and an actual baseball cap, but not a single GPS to be found. Amazon delivery and phones but you can’t find the villain hideouts without questing? The pieces of the modern world were just thrown in for fun (there’s a whole comic-con scene) but conveniently no modern developments were used to make the quest more smooth. There was no attempt to mesh the fantastical and modern elements, so everything clashed and distracted from the book's plot.

Which, in all fairness, there’s not really a plot. Supposedly they are on a heroic quest to save the kingdom, but that is a generous way to describe it. The author just wanted a backdrop for her characters, looking at you Beatrice and Clare, to be horny and pining. If the characters had had development of any sort, and conflict I could root for, the lack of a plot wouldn’t have bothered, me since I’m a character-over-plot reader. But, truly, I could not have cared less about the four MCs. Their interpersonal relationships weren’t explored because the author was too busy being “quirky” and reminding you that Beatrice and Clare wanted to bang! It was frustrating to get half-thought-out plot points with holes interspersed with a ludicrous amount of awful pining.

I’d recommend skipping this one unless you are looking for something silly to fill your time. Even then, there are better options.

Thank you, NetGalley and Avon and Harper Voyager, for the advance copy. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

Who are we in the face of true tragedy? When the rest of the world sees dashing heroes and valiant feats, but in reality you are a has-been struggling with survivors guilt? Thats how we start this novel 10 years after saving the realm from evil, but losing their fearless leader. Beatrice, Elowen and Clare are struggling in their everyday lives when they are summoned to attend the Queens wedding. Each must face their own demons, while confronting the very actions, words and emotions that ripped them apart so long ago. When old evils arise the band must get back together and maybe mend what was broken along the way.

A sharp, witty, and heartwarming novel that explores love, grief, and self-discovery with humor and heart.

This was a really fun read at the start and I absolutely loved the ending. I struggled in the middle. It felt like it could have been tightened a bit. Fun characters and a will-they/won't they kind of love story. Great idea, clever writing.

A delightful and quirky novel that takes readers on a whimsical journey filled with humor, heart, and unexpected twists. The story follows the protagonist, Chloe, a young woman who embarks on a spontaneous adventure after a series of life-changing events. Along the way, she encounters a cast of colorful characters, each with their own unique stories and contributions to Chloe's journey.

Asher's writing is both witty and poignant, blending lighthearted moments with deeper, introspective themes. The narrative is engaging, with a perfect balance of humor and emotional depth. The book's charm lies in its ability to capture the essence of human connection and the importance of embracing life's unpredictability.

While the plot can be a bit meandering at times, and some subplots might feel slightly underdeveloped, the overall experience is thoroughly enjoyable.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an eARC. The premise of the book sounded great but not as great execution. Superficially enjoyable.

I really enjoyed this book! I loved the diversity in the characters and the different dynamics between them. I think it was an interesting concept to take the idea of “what if a found family didn’t stay together?” Finding out who the authors were at the end also made a lot of sense. It’s a good combination of all of their writing styles. I would definitely read a book by this team again.

Ten years ago, they saved the realm. Ten years ago, they went their separate ways, hoping never to speak again...

This WAS fun!! This book was such a joy to read!! The banter and lightheartedness, mixed with the devastation and guilt these characters all felt made this story feel very real. These characters were all unique; they each dealt with their grief in different ways, which was beautiful to see how humans deal with trauma differently. This story was heavy on romance but very much a slow burn for both couples. I loved that while they might have been fighting with one another, and old wounds hurt, they slowly realized how much the past shaped them all and they all could understand everyone's perspective.

My only issue was that I felt the ending was very rushed and ended rather quickly after the final reveal... otherwise, this was the perfect story for lovers of The Princess Bride or shows like vox machina!

This Will Be Fun is an entertaining, witty and creative romantasy. Ten years ago, four friends set out to save Mythria. They accomplished the task but were forever changed. Now that they must reunite and go on another quest, will they be able to work through their issues and work together to save the day? It's an interesting, adventurous world-building tale about love, friendship, and found family.

This Will Be Fun is a quirky, heartwarming story that balances humor with emotional depth. Asher’s relatable characters and sharp writing make it a fun and engaging read.

The premise for this book sounded really intriguing as most fantasy books don’t really look past the end of the adventure and how the hero carries on after that. But here, life after for the heroes wasn’t really a bed of roses as they were all affected differently by the price the quest claimed, and they are less than happy to be dragged back to be heroes again on yet another perilous quest.

In and of itself, the concept was fabulous, but the execution fell short. For one, the focus was less on the quest itself and more on the friends resolving their differences and a romance arc I was not invested in at all.

The world building was honestly confusing because this book couldn’t make up its mind on what sort of time period it wanted to be in. There was travel by carts and horses and carriages, fighting with swords and other medieval weapons but there were also somehow cafes where one could get specialty coffees and lattes just with middle ages sounding names, and magazines and what definitely sounded like a soap opera of some sort. I’m not even going to get into the completely out of place modern language. There’s literally nothing that puts me off a book faster than inconsistency in world building and all of this had me less than excited to keep reading within the first quarter of this book.

That said, when the book finally remembered to actually return to the plot, it turned out to be decent enough. The events leading up to the book were revealed gradually through a mix of conversations and flashbacks, an interesting approach, given that this entire book hinges on those events, but I thought it worked rather well, and this is probably what kept my attention until the end.

Personally, I thought that Beatrice bringing back Galwell kind of ruined the ending, the group had finally made their peace and worked through all their issues already, so this was kind of unneeded except to make it a happily ever after ending.

Overall, it was a passable read, but this is probably not a book I’m going to be re-visiting, and not one I would recommend either.

this book wasn't for me. I feel like 60% of the book was the characters discussing if they would go on the quest. There felt like there was so much filler. This felt like a chaotic book with little progression on the plot advertised.

I enjoyed this Fantasy and romance match up. It was a new to me genre. But the characters and the setting came alive. I want to read more by the author.

Now this is a kooky one! The realm's lauded team of Heroes reunite to save the Queen's betrothed and defeat an evil necromancer and sorceor duo. The only hitch? The team of heroes haven't spoken in the 10 years from their famed triumph ..... miscommunication, love, angst, betrayal, guilt, grief and more are the real battles this group will have to overcome. I adored these characters and really enjoyed the mature and comical writing of E.B. Asher.
