A year has passed since the Dark Wizard Myrin attempted to take control of the Kingdom of Verania. Though the scars of the final battle remain, Veranians have come together in unity in order to rebuild. Good King Anthony sits on the throne once more, with Morgan of Shadows at his side.
However, a king is not immortal. One day, Anthony will step down, paving the way for his son, Grand Prince Justin, to assume the throne. And Justin wants anything but.
Unfortunately for him, he finds himself with bigger things to worry about than just becoming the ruler of a country. At the celebration of the might of Verania and its people, a delegation arrives, led by a man who calls himself a magician. This man represents the king of Yennbridge, who has come to claim what was promised to him years before: the hand of the firstborn son of the king and queen of Verania. With his ridiculous friends at his side—Sam, Ryan, Kevin, Gary, and Tiggy—Justin sets out to make the visiting king’s life a living hell. Which, of course, backfires spectacularly, and when the dust settles, Justin finds his friends changed in ways he can’t expect, leaving him standing alone.
Except he’s not as alone as he thinks, given the king of Yennbridge will do anything to prove he’s worthy of the frozen heart of the Ice Prince.
Prince Justin has finally met his match. Let the games begin.

Ah well. Again, Lesley's fabulous performance makes up for any faults in the plot structure, and I can't wait for the next one.
*Fabulous* Vocal Performance Compensates for Plot

I'm not going to go into too much other than to say that this isn't a stand alone. If you have not read any books in this series, stop now and start with Book 1. It will not be completely confusing if you don't, but you won't really GET so many things. Half of what makes TJ Klune so endearing - besides his incredibly dry humor and emotionally invested characters - are the Inside Jokes (It's Capitalized...so that means it's true...) and there are a MILLION inside jokes. You do not want to have them all fly over your head...trust me.
Did I like this book as much as the previous 4 books? No - not really. It wasn't that it was bad, there just didn't seem to be the level of investment in the situation that this book revolves around. Sam has fought the big battle and won, a year has gone by since that happened and we then get to come back and visit the gang. The city of Lockes is rebuilding, people are trying to move on from the events that occurred (in the previous 4 books) and all of a sudden there is a King who arrives to say he has been promised to Prince Justin. Or, I guess a better way to say it would be that Prince Justin has been promised to him.
Craziness ensues - and boy, do we hit an extreme level of zaniness (this might be a record level). There is the requisite evil monologuing, kidnapping and magic. All in all - it's fun, light hearted and full of immature humor. What more could you ask for?
