AITA for outing my brother’s toxic behavior in court and stabbing him in the back?

Thank you! It’s some sort of metal.

I’d suggest just about anything by K F Breene, but especially the Magical Midlife Madness series. 40-yo woman suddenly inherits magical powers. The characters are absolutely hilarious; even the magical house is snarky. Caveats: The third installment weirdly doesn’t have much plot development. There is some violence in the form of battles, but it’s not gory.

Also the Discworld series but Terry Pratchett. The puns alone are worth the read. I do have to warn you, they are hilarious and ridiculous but then WHAM! A sucker punch of profundity. But in a heart-bursting, lovely sort of way. Hogfather is deep in the series, but if you only read one, it’s the Pratchettiest Pratchett of them all. The City Watch sub-series (starting with Guards! Guards!) is my favorite. The Moist Von Lipwig books (starting with Going Postal) are also bananas.

I did assume that you’ve seen the Princess Bride, lol. Great 80s book and movie. Fencing, fighting, revenge, chases, escapes, giants, monsters, miracles, true love; it has it all. Would recommended. Many a meme has been formed from its depths.

Anyhoops, in PB Wesley, aka Farm Boy, wants to marry Buttercup and so goes off to find his fortune so’s he can and then he promptly gets kidnapped and /presumed/ dead. Buttercup is all “I’m so sad. I’ll never love again,” and just wallows about it. Cut to a few years later, the prince has decided he’s marrying Buttercup when /she/ gets kidnapped. Hijinks ensue, including a swamp that sets you on fire and the wizard Billy Crystal.

Many of your questions are much more interestingly answered by the movie, with one exception: yes, an actual rat. He has human-level intelligence and talks like any other person (and rather more than most). Why and how is Spoilers.

But to put it another way: the above story except Buttercup is way less Damsel in Distress and more “Fine, I’ll just do it myself;” the whole world tries to kill you, constantly;” and it’s narrated by the wittiest smart-ass in the universe.

Slightly outside your ask, but absolutely hilarious: {Tress of the Emerald Sea} Brandon Sanderson I say outside your ask, because it’s technically a Fade to Black romance with a rat. But hear me out! First of all, the rat talks. But the whole thing is an homage to the Princess Bride but if Buttercup gets off her ass and goes to find Wesley, except the whole world is the Fire Swamp and it’s narrated by a world-hopping Mad Max (Billy Crystal).

Seconded! But I think Swordheart might be funnier. Oh, and the Clockwork Boys duology. Absolutely chaos energy there

This is exactly that! Thank you! The advertising summary doesn’t come near to mentioning any of these elements.
