So This Is Ever After is a really fun fantasy romcom romp and is perfect as a palette cleanser after a tough book because you need exactly 0 braincells to read it. 

The plot, nor the characters are strongly written, and most of the story hinges on miscommunocation but it's sweet and a very fun, light read. I find it especially cute that everything Matt and Arek tried to plan to set Arek up with his friends, ended up happening to Matt and Arek instead.

The book is clearly supposed to be simple, silly and fun. 

The author doesn’t make a single attempt at believable wordbuilding. All the characters feel like laid back teens playing a role play game to goof around. They didn’t feel like part of the fantasy world at all. 

For example when the king was addressed by a servant he answered with: „yeah sure what’s‘ up?“ 😂

They also have chocolate cake, know about pheromones and field trips and dozens of other things. 

It feels a bit like an Alternative Universe Fanfiction of a show/book series with a sprinkle (or 5) of crack treated seriously, where the writer is just having fun with the characters.

I do like the concept of „what comes after the happy end“ stories (not that is was seriously explored in this story).

🥰 Friends to Lovers

🔮 Fantasy Rom-Com

🧐 Oblivious Mutual Pining 

I’m pretty sure Arek and Matt are the definition of oblivious friends to lovers, throw in some slow burn mutual pining and it’s them. 

I really enjoyed this book, the world-building and setting was written really well.  It almost gave off a contemporary vibe in a fantasy world.  Yes, there was magic and a king but it was easy and fun to read.  These are the kind of fantasy books I want to read more of.

I loved the vibes of this book, the friendships, the chaotic nature of some of the characters, the romance, and the humor.   It was so lovely.
