Student Book Review - The Hero's Guide to Being an Outlaw




The Hero’s Guide to Being an Outlaw

As you know, in my last review on The Hero’s Guide to storming the Castle I mentioned that there was a jewel, a mysterious one which could control a person’s mind and body and it ended up in the wrong hands, the most evil and horrifying ruler of Dar, Lord Rundark.

This time the story starts when Posters are pasted all over the thirteen kingdoms saying that Princess Briar has been murdered and the League of Princes and including Ella, Lilia, Snow White and Rapunzel have been taken the blame for this incident. To clear their name they start acting like heroes for other people. They soon find out that Briar’s murder was actually a plan for villains ruled by Rundark, to rule the thirteen kingdoms. Briar is not dead. Along the way, Bounty Hunters are plastered all over the kingdoms to capture the Prince and Princesses. At one point the gang all gets captured accept for Snow White, Duncan, Liam and Ella. It’s up to them to save their friends and clear their name. Unfortunately the princes manage to get free but in the meantime the princesses get trapped including Ella. Meanwhile in jail, the princesses spend quality time alongside bread thief Val Jeanval, until they plan to break free from jail. The princes go through ups and downs, and get rescued by bounty hunters that are the ones who were hired to capture Briar in the first place in exchange for their reward.

The character that I like and alike to me is Ella. Ella is full of energy and willing to lend a hand to anybody who needs one. I’m very similar to her and when there is a request I always try to succeed it. This book was just like all the books in the series and as the final book I give it a thumbs up. When I read this book I just couldn’t stop because from the first page the drama starts and from the last page it ends.

I would give this book a rating of 5 stars (*****/*****) because as I would expect from the last book is a good ending where all evil becomes good or vanished and everything will go back to normal. I’m pretty sad that the series has ended but overall I leaned good lessons in life and teamwork. J
