A delightful, cozy fantasy with a fair amount of twists and shenanigans. The pacing of the book was a bit erratic (plodding at the beginning, rapid at the end), but all in all it was a really enjoyable read.

A magical romantasy book brimming with charm, romance and a vivid and mysterious world that I just know would be begging me to be returned to. I so loved read it.

Ten years ago, four heroic adventurers prevented an evil group from taking over the realm. Yay! But what became of The Four after their retirement from heroics?

Beatrice: broke alcoholic divorcée
Elowen: hermit obsessed with soap operas
Clare: mercenary-turned-knight who profited immensely from fame but is a sad lonely rake
Galwell: dead

Now the remaining three in their 30s and estranged, but decide to briefly put the past aside and attend the queen's wedding. But oh no, disaster has struck, and right before the wedding too! Looks like our MCs have to band together, get over their differences, rescue a damsel in distress (the queen's abducted fiancé), and become heroes again!

Also included:
Second chance love x2
Spicy scene x2: one between Elowen and Vandra (FF) and one between Clare and Beatrice (MF)
Survivors guilt x infinity
Magical Ubers
Truth or Dare
An eagle pet
Las Vegas
Cosplay
And one very happy ending!

The first part of the book was the funniest for me, where the characters are introduced and then reunite. The middle slowed down a bit, but the magical Vegas finale was very entertaining, and the ending was so heartwarming I cried. What fun!

3.5⭐️ This honestly would have been 4 stars for me, if it weren't for the ending. I also struggled with the POV changes that took place every. single. chapter. I really liked the characters and the general plot of "ex-friends in forced proximity having to save the world while processing grief and betrayal". I also loved the quirkiness and relatable traits given to each character as well as the unpredictable and ridiculous situations they often found themselves in. Overall a good, but not great, read.

The Princess Bride meets the Princess Diaries in this entertaining rom com set in a fictional land. In a sweeping friends to enemies to lovers tale, will the main characters be able to reconcile their differences and find happiness, or will the past get in their way? This Will Be Fun certainly lived up to its name. I couldn't put this book down!

This was, in fact, very fun!! I have ZERO complaints or criticism about this book. Seriously. It was perfection. The writing, the banter, the world building, the ending - absolutely incredible. I fell in love with each and every character and their connections to one another. I will be buying a physical copy once this is released so that I can read it again! A huge thank you to Netgalley for this ARC!

True to its name, this was a really fun read! I’m all for a good genre mashup and this hit the mark to a T. This is very much a romcom, but what makes this different is that it’s a romcom with magic and a quest! There are feelings, lots of discussion of feelings, but also romance, comedy, and a little steam. A great group of main and side characters. A cute pet and witty banter.

I loved the world building in this seemingly parallel universe to ours, complete with their own versions of ride share, “brew” (coffee) shops, texting and TV shows. The book starts out 10 years after the group’s first quest, and they are not in a good place. The story got a little slow for me through the middle, but once it picked up it was a great read and an ending that had me teary.

Thank you to Avon and Harper Voyager | Avon, E. B. Asher and NetGalley for the digital ARC to review.

You had me at cozy fantasy! From a "getting the gang back together" quest to the whip-smart banter, This Will Be Fun does indeed live up to its title.

Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for the ARC!

"This Will Be Fun" delivers exactly what its title promises—a delightful and entertaining read. The authors excel in world-building, making the fantastical setting easy to envision. With a mix of cozy fantasy, adventure, and a hint of romance, this book offers something for everyone. While some may find the cast of characters overwhelming, the witty banter and dynamic relationships keep the story engaging. Overall, a recommended read that will leave you smiling. Thank you to Avon/Harper Voyager, E.B. Asher, and NetGalley for the ARC!

Thank you to Avon/ Harper Voyger, E.B. Asher and Netgalley for providing me with an e-arc of "This Will Be Fun" in exchange for an honest reveiw*

I loved this. It was so fun! I think everyone will find something to enjoy.

Normally I don't really read books that take place in another world just cause when I read I see pictures, iykyk, but the title was what drew me in. Just like the title said, it was a fun read. (Couldn't resist lol) Anyway the author does a great job with details so the world building was easy. I would definitely recommend if this is your vibe

Thank you to NetGalley, E. B. Asher, and the publishers for allowing me access to the e-Arc.

4.25 stars

This was such a fun cozy, adventurous with some romance story. I was shocked that this was written by three authors. I thought it was well written. I never felt like the story was choppy. loved the fact that we get MOVs which adds to the story. I honestly enjoyed all of the characters.

I highly recommend it!

I was immediately intrigued by this concept and premise. I enjoyed the read, the mix of cozy fantasy and adventure mixed with some great friendship, banter, tension, and a little spice made for a fun romance. I think there is a lot here that readers will enjoy.

This was cute - lots of bickering between characters & drama. I rounded 3.5 stars up to 4. I would enjoy reading more from E B Asher in the future. It was indeed FUN.

This Will Be Fun absolutely was just that: fun. I enjoyed the banter and bickering between the characters. I absolutely loved Clare, Vandra, and Hugh. Some of the scenes had me cracking up. I think this would make a great movie.

Thank you NetGalley and Avon, Harper Voyager for this digital arc in exchange for my honest review which is not affiliated with any brand.

Sadly this was a DNF for me. I think this book will certainly have its audience, and there is some delightful and witty banter, but a third of the way in I was still having trouble keeping track of who was who and I just didn’t care enough to figure it out. But I will definitely say that cozy fantasy fans who like a good amount of bicker banter will probably like this! I just needed more to happen in the first third to keep me interested.

The immediate vibe is "cozy," and this feels really well-marketed. I stopped after chapter 1 (6%) but this should definitely go over well with fans of cozy fantasy. Solid 3 to 4 stars with 5 for the right readers.

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon for the ARC.
