About This Book
What happens after the heroes win? That question sits at the heart of This Will Be Fun, a romantasy that picks up a decade after four friends saved their world — and then never spoke again. Now a royal wedding pulls them back together, unhealed wounds and all, and what starts as an awkward reunion quickly becomes something much more dangerous and much more necessary. E.B. Asher takes the familiar fantasy quest structure and tilts it sideways, centering not the glory of heroism but its aftermath: the friendships fractured by it, the identities shaped by it, and the quiet hope that the people you once loved might still be findable beneath everything that changed.
The writing keeps a breezy, warm momentum even as it handles genuinely tender emotional territory — the kind of book that earns its lighter moments because it doesn't shy away from the harder ones. Told across multiple perspectives, it gives each character room to be complicated, funny, and occasionally a disaster. The result is a cozy fantasy that moves like a road trip novel, where the destination matters less than what gets said — and finally admitted — along the way.
