There’s nothing I love more than sharing things I love with my friends, I’ve started reading my favorite childhood series to them, The Heroes Guide Series but Christopher Healy, and I’m so happy to share things I love with those I care about, plus I always enjoy a reread.

I am. Unreasonably attached to the Princes Charming

And Hero’s Guide in general

(Read up to the part where we meet the bandit king today)

I just finished A Hero’s Guide to Saving Your Kingdom! Some random scattered thoughts:

I really love how this story plays with the dynamics of the original fairy tales, and makes the princes flawed without making them necessarily “weak.”

The same with the female protagonists! They were interesting and strong without falling into the “strong female character” trope (at least not so far, I really hope this holds up). My favorites so far are Rapunzel and Snow—which, as my favorites of the “princesses” in The Lunar Chronicles are Cress and Winter, definitely tracks.

Just really good character writing overall. I want to be friends with all of them.

My brother shares a name with one of the princes, so that’s throwing me for a bit of a loop, lol.

Also—really good dialogue! It bounced between hilarious and heartfelt effortlessly, and was genuinely funny without dipping into Marvel-quippy mode.

Briar Rose turning out to be a total jerk (and Liam being so flabbergasted by her) caught me so off guard and I loved it

Duncan and Snow being already married makes me so happy—they’re both a little weird but different from each other in their own ways and suit each other so well! They have conflicts but they’re learning to work through them! I know this is a middle-grade novel, but goshdangit, give me healthy marriages in fiction!

LIAM AND LILA ARE SO CUTE AAAAAH

The character development for all of the princes was wonderful, but my favorite was Frederic’s—he overcame his fear of the unknown! He gained the bravery to protect those he cares about! He learned where his true talents lie! HIS HEART IS SO BIG HE LOVES HIS FRIENDS I’M SO PROUD OF HIM

Prince Liam can do a lot of things but he Cannot Flirt and I love that for him

Speaking of this love-hexagon thing…Frederic and Rapunzel?? HMMMMM??

This book is just so unapologetically about the power of friendship, there are some tongue-in-cheek remarks and lampshading but NEVER about this theme and that is just. SO good. So good

I highly recommend listening to the audiobook, the narrator does all of the accents and is just overall highly entertaining

I’m so excited to read the next one—I hope it holds up! I will definitely be recommending this to my mom to play for my brothers on their next road trip.

#I like middle grade novels sue me #they don’t come off as nearly as idiotic as most YA #the hero’s guide to saving your kingdom #book review #book rec

sometimes you gotta draw something that's just for yourself because there's no fandom for your favorite book series since it was intended for children 🙃 anyway here's my first attempt at drawing Gustav

I'm also really excited to read No one leaves the Castle :)

Title: The League of Princes

Author: Christopher Healy

Series or standalone: series

Publication year: 2012

Genres: fiction, fantasy, adventure

Blurb: Prince Liam; Prince Frederic; Prince Duncan; Prince Gustav; you’ve never heard of them, have you? These are the princes who saved Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Snow White, and Rapunzel respectively...and yet, thanks to those lousy bards who wrote the tales, you likely know them only as Prince Charming. But all of this is about to change. Rejected by their princesses and cast out of their castles, the princes stumble upon an evil plot that could endanger each of their kingdoms. Now it’s up to them to triumph over their various shortcomings, take on trolls, bandits, dragons, witches, and other assorted terrors, and become the heroes no one ever thought they could be.

Ok but how cathartic would it have been if instead of Jaune being the famous Rusted Knight all along, V9 was written so that Ruby fell into the Ever After and became this aged warrior in a tattered cape called the Hooded Huntress or whatever, spending the last few decades stewing over her friends' death and her perceived uselessness, pushing herself to protect the Ever After as its sole guardian all this time.

Her teammates try to find and console her, but reuniting with them after so long just brings back all the bitter memories and she does everything she can to avoid them, even Yang. Inwardly Ruby is torn because the chance of meeting her team again was why she's even alive and fighting after all these years, but now... she can't even bear to face them.

Slowly but surely her team reaches through to her. And then it all slowly clicks: Ruby and her friends figure out she's the Hooded Huntress. She's the hero in the books Ruby always looked up to. She's the fairy tale ideal Blake wished the world could be. She's the hero Weiss would think about to push herself through her training. She's the hero Yang would read to her about during bedtime. Her tale may have even been old enough to inspire Maria and Qrow to become Hunters. Summer herself.

All of this hits Ruby like a truck, knowing that she was always meant to be a hero and has still done so much good, more than she'll ever know. And Ruby learns to accept her mantle once again and returns to Remnant wiser and better than ever. She may not have been enough to save the kingdom of Atlas or Penny, but she poured her everything into the Ever After to make up for it and in doing so, became the hero the world would soon need; that it always had.

Fuck your ascension and fuck your suicide tea; Ruby chose to keep going for one more day instead of giving up, if only for the sake of others, but found not only the light at the end of the tunnel; she was the light guiding others through it, even when she was too caught up in the darkness around her to see it herself.

But I guess we needed Jaune to be the big hero again. He's canonically now a bigger and more influential hero than Ruby, Summer or almost any other Hunter in existence can hope to be - immortalised forever as an enduring tale thousands of children and aspiring Hunters would emulate, even after Team RWBY themselves are gone.

Like. Let Ruby have fucking something. Is she still the protagonist or is she fucking not.

EDIT: Also this would have been our one chance to get scruffy long-haired Ruby. Let that sit with you abit.
