The Student Prince - FayJay This book was SO MUCH FUN! With its witty humor, completely charming characters, and Harry Potter references I was in love. Fast.

Merlin is a young wizard who is on his way to the very secretive School of Sorcery. On his was he becomes friends with Gwen. As Gwen and Merlin are getting acquainted with their new college they meet Lance. And last but not least, they run into... c’mon, take a guess. I bet you’ll get it. Yup! Prince Arthur! So this was modern take on the Merlin and Arthur legends, something I basically know nothing about. But I didn’t need to...and don’t feel the need to know more. Merlin and Arthur have gay sex. That’s the story and I’m sticking to it.

But back to the FUN! This was a tale about magic but it was also about Merlin, Gwen and Arthur’s first year in college and the shenanigans that come with. The banter was hilarious and I found myself grinning throughout. Fifty points to Gryffindor.

“Merlin, if you don't stop whining, I'm going to take Gwen's sword and beat you to death with it," said Arthur, evenly.
"It's plastic."
"So it will take me a long time. I'm still game.”


The sexual tension was intense! Really. I mean the first real kiss wasn’t until around 70% kind of tension. Of course, with Arthur being a prince there were some struggles they had to overcome but when they did...oh, holy hotness. It was crazy good.

My only issue was it was slightly wordy at times and the end seemed to drag for me. Ten points to Slytherin. And, not gonna lie, there were quite a few scenes where I didn’t know what the hell was going on. Mostly because this was very British, and well, I’m not. So I didn’t get it. But I laughed anyway because that's what you do when you don't get something you know is supposed to be funny.

Still, in a word: FUN
