Über diesen Titel
An instant New York Time bestseller!
Carry On meets Arthurian legend in this subversive, “delightfully original and whimsical” (Kirkus Reviews) young adult fantasy about what happens after the chosen one wins the kingdom and has to get married to keep it…and to stay alive.
Arek hadn’t thought much about what would happen after he completed the prophecy that said he was destined to save the Kingdom of Ere from its evil ruler. So now that he’s finally managed to (somewhat clumsily) behead the evil king (turns out magical swords yanked from bogs don’t come pre-sharpened), he and his rag-tag group of quest companions are at a bit of a loss for what to do next.
As a temporary safeguard, Arek’s best friend and mage, Matt, convinces him to assume the throne until the true heir can be rescued from her tower. Except that she’s dead. Now Arek is stuck as king, a role that comes with a magical catch: choose a spouse by your eighteenth birthday, or wither away into nothing.
With his eighteenth birthday only three months away, and only Matt in on the secret, Arek embarks on a desperate bid to find a spouse to save his life—starting with his quest companions. But his attempts at wooing his friends go painfully and hilariously wrong…until he discovers that love might have been in front of him all along.

I do agree with a previous commenter that this feels like fanfiction in the very best way. If you ever read fanfiction to one of those series that just don't have enough happy ending to satisfy (Like for example Teen Wolf, Supernatural, Harry Potter, etc. - all these stories with heavy themes and very little happiness squeezed in at the end), and were lucky enough to find one that just captured the characters perfectly and tied up all the little loose strings from a technically finished story that bothered you; Just that feeling you get when you find a story that manages to stay perfectly in its universe, explain everything, and make the characters you worried about happy in the best of ways; this is what this book feels like. It's not too heavy, but there is significant plot; it's not too dramatic, but there are teenage angst and antics; it's not too monotone, but it does deal with one and the same problem the whole story through. The story arch works perfectly. There is no big bad evil to fight against, since this is about the aftermath of fighting the big bad evil in the first place. It also gently pokes fun at all the usual tropes of fantasy books we all know so well, and it manages to somehow be effortlessly inclusive. Sexuality, race and ethnicity are not even a topic of consideration at all, nevermind a problem. It manages to show off diversity without even mentioning it at all, it's amazing. Huge compliment to the author, this is really, really well done.
It's also well read, the narrator did a great job giving everyone their own voice and conveying emotions through their reading. Listening was a blast, I enjoyed this one a whole lot and dearly hope there is more of this sort out there for me to find. I'm going to look for more works by this author now. I absolutely recommend this.
Amazing book

The first time I listend to the story I sped it up so much I nearly didn't get everything but I had to know the end as fast as possible without skipping parts.
I liked the different tropes and characters. It made me feel so many different emotions.
The best part is the chemistry between the two main characters. They are idiots and I love them.
Exactly what I wanted
