3.0

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).
