About this audiobook

The lord of Laughter, the Monarch of Mirth-if only the bumbling 17-year-old Sebastian Darke could be a successful jester like his father. The problem is Sebastian's not funny. But after his father's death, with no choice but to beg in the streets, the half-human, half-elf teen sets off with Max, his father's slightly cynical Buffalope, to offer his services as a jester to King Septimus of Keladon. On the way they meet Captain Cornelius Drummel, small in stature, but the fiercest of fighters. The three rescue the fair princess Kerin, who's being held captive by brigands, and happily escort her home. If only Sebastian knew the kidnapping was engineered by the evil King Septimus!

    An interesting tale about a jester and his buffalope, a dwarf, a princess, and a quest to make things right in the kingdom. Unfortunately, I found the plot to be a little too... obvious. No twists or turns, but it was entertaining enough with the interesting illustrations and the banter from the talkative buffalope.
