Title: Pandemonium

Author: Chris Wooding

Artist: Cassandra Diaz

Seifer is an average guy (in a place where having bat wings and horns is normal) in an all too average town deep in the mountains. He spends his time playing Skullball, hiding the books he reads from his sport obsessed dad, and taking care of his delusional grandfather. But Seifer dreams of leaving his hometown to explore the world, wishing for something more. He gets exactly that when he is ambushed one night by three midgets in red robes that beat him into unconsciousness and stuff him in a bag. When he awakens, Seifer finds himself in a large kingdom where he is forced to pretend to be Prince Talon, one of the rulers of Pandemonium, who has gone missing. As the leader of the army protecting the borders has disappeared, war is brewing on the horizon and can only be prevented by the return of the prince. Since Seifer looks exactly like said missing prince, he is blackmailed into being the young royal until the real one can be found. As he goes along with the charade, Seifer begins to see that most people prefer him to the original prince and that he is more talented at being a kind dictator than he would have thought. However, not everyone is happy for the 'prince's' return, and many attempted assassinations ensue while the threat of war still lingers. Will Seifer escape with his sanity and life still intact or will he be discovered as a fraud?

I finished this book because it was freaking hilarious!

I'd give this book to anyone who likes comedy with a little bit of a dark twist.
