Flauschbuch reviewed So This Is Ever After by F.T. Lukens
Cozy and fun
4 stars
This book deals with a scenario that is rarely adressed in the fantasy genre - what happens after the prophecy is fulfilled. Not only does the group of mostly very young people/teenagers have to figure out how to rebuild and govern a kingdom, there's also another magic trope - King Arek has to get married/find his soulmate. Some fun shenanigans and some drama ensue but given the target audience of the book there's also some surprisingly mature discussion of consent and the psychological after-effects of the quest. The characters are interesting, the writing style is generally light-hearted and funny. I also loved how almost everyone in the book is queer. A good choice if you want a diverting read.
