Review: This Will be Interesting by E.B. Asher

The sequel to This Will be Fun is just as cute. This time, we are following Galwell, recently back from the dead, Queen Thessia, tired of being the damsel in distress, and River, an assassin with a moral code. The mystery starts when River is assigned to kill Galwell. The Guild she works for only supports targeting villains, but what evil deed could Galwell have committed? He is, after all, the heroic Galwell the Great. So he has to get out of town, and wouldn’t you know, Queen Thessia and her new husband, Hugh, are going across the sea on their honeymoon. So Galwell sneaks onto the boat, and Raven follows, and soon, everyone is in a new country. They meet the Princes, who both want to change their country for the better, but then one of the princes is killed by someone who looks like Galwell, and now new mystery on top of the other mystery. Galwell has no choice but momentarily stops being heroic by hiding at Mona the Merciless place. Hijinks ensue. Romance is had. The bad guys are unmasked, and the good guys win the day. Just the simple, fun book that everyone needs to read every once in a while. I particularly enjoyed the chemistry between Galwell and Mona. They were truly fun. Galwell, a man from out of time and a misunderstood villain. It just works. Thessia and Hugh are also a great couple. I enjoyed both books, and I wonder if there will be any other books in the series.
