What a surprise when I spotted this book in the library just a short time after I found the 4th book! I am so glad that they are working harder on adding English books to their collections.
This time a summer that turns very very cold, and I was delighted that Edwin invited everyone inside the castle to get warm at the fireplace (including some other people), we also finally learn (in a chapter zero just after chapter three) how Edwin got to be king and later on we learn even more truth about it which was very interesting, there is a big pyjama party, and finally Edwin climbs the mountain, though for other reasons than I thought he would.. *sighs* I wasn't a fan of the emperor coming back, so two stars less almost three given he had such a big part, and I also wasn't a fan of Wendy. Bleh. She kept popping up in the story and it just ruined things for me.
The ending was nice though, well before the whole emperor chapter again, I don't count that as an ending.
Bonus points to the hilarious name of the tallest mountain: Hetherang-Dundister-Underploshy-Smeltus.
Here is to hoping for more King Flashypants books, though I hope next time we will only have Edwin again. Otherwise I won't continue this series.
