The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom

I read this book yesterday. :3 I laughed in so many places. Awesome humor. Memorable characters. Very quirky (especially because of the omniscient narrator). This is the author's first book, and it seems that a sequel is slated for next year~.

Summary:

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, Liam, Frederic, Duncan, and Gustav 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.

A great read especially for people who like to see fairy tales deconstructed. :) The princes get to do things, and the princesses save themselves.
