Well, that was a lot better than I expected. It's a miracle, Bob the Builder creator guy can actually write! I still find that so ironic. I mean, look at the cover.
Does this look like the kind of book created by someone who writes television shows aimed at toddlers?
Anyway, I think Drew is going to make a fantastic king. After all, don't they always say that those who are best suited for power are those who don't want it? I think Drew will spend some time fighting against taking the crown, and there will be some challenges. After all, he's just a teenage boy, and people might want someone more charismatic as king. He also has no way to prove his claim as a legitimate son of Wergar the Wolf, other than his own lycanthropic nature. And Leopold still has the crown inside the castle where he has barricaded himself.
The preview of the next book was pretty intriguing. I would have thought that the young man who escaped was Prince Lucas, if he wasn't already proven to be the kind of spoiled brat who sends someone else with his messages. Could just be a random messenger, but the third person limited viewpoint makes me think that it's somebody we either already know, or will know later, since Jobling was so careful to describe the young man's state of mind as he made his daring escape, his fascination with horses. Or maybe I was right the first time, and there's more to Prince Lucas than meets the eye. Gretchen changed dramatically in the first book- maybe the prince is a bit more independent than he makes himself out to be.
