The School for Good and Evil #4
Quests for Glory
Goodreads Choice Award
Nominee for Readers' Favorite Middle Grade & Children's (2017)If Good and Evil can’t find a way to work together, neither side will survive.
With every end comes a new beginning in the fourth installment of Soman Chainani’s New York Times bestselling School for Good and Evil series, Quests for Glory.
Join Sophie, Agatha, Tedros, and the other students as they begin a new era in the Endless Woods—The Camelot Years—where Evers and Nevers alike must move beyond the bounds of school and into the biggest, boldest adventures of their lives.
The students at the School for Good and Evil thought they had found their final Ever After when they vanquished the malevolent School Master. Now, on their required fourth-year quests, the students face obstacles both dangerous and unpredictable, and the stakes are high: success brings eternal adoration, and failure means obscurity forever.
For their quests, Agatha and Tedros are trying to return Camelot to its former splendor as queen and king. For her quest, Dean Sophie seeks to mold Evil in her own image. But soon they all feel themselves growing more isolated and alone.
When their classmates’ quests plunge into chaos, however, someone must lead the charge to save them...

Oh boy... Why couldn’t we have just ended with the first trilogy...? *cough* Or better yet, the very first book? *cough* This sequel series is just so unnecessary and so is the new conflict. Also, the multiple POVs were okay, but it felt kind of pointless to put a name at the beginning of each chapter because the style of writing didn’t even change that much.
Whatever. Let me talk about the characters.
Agatha, I will love her and defend her until I die. She doesn’t deserve the hand she’s been dealt in life at all. But I guess being awesome gave her good karma at the end because she’s
The Coven were the best after Agatha, and I ship Willam and Bogden... Wish those two boys got more involvement, though.
Tedros, you’re an idiot. #KingAgatha
Rhian was a plastic Ken doll and had such bullshit logic when it came to Sophie’s bullshit.
Anyway, author’s favorite Sophie is wicked as usual. Is it the sort of wicked I love? No, I am probably never going to love her or her kind of villain. Sorry, but I’ve never been able to see the appeal of her; I’ve always seen her for everything wrong that she’s done, which is so huge when it comes to her character that I just can’t excuse it in any way, redeeming qualities be damned! But am I glad that it's being acknowledged that she is pure wickedness because c'mon now she's the Dean of Evil? Hell yes. Well, it’s sometimes acknowledged, other times it’s excused, but I’ll take what I can get.
The parts where Hort was
By the way, I literally gave myself a headache ranting about Hort and Sophie’s BS (both together and apart) to my friend, and got so mad I couldn’t form words when telling the same friend about Agatha constantly being pushed to the side.
There are other things that I’d like to say, but honestly I’m exhausted and don’t want to repeat myself. Go read my status updates if you wanna hear all about how I feel about the way Agatha’s treated in the book... and some other things.
So. Why did I give this three stars if all I basically did this review was rant? Well, it was enjoyable... mostly. I mean, it was written well and I wasn’t bored, just frustrated. I’m going to read the next book... only because I love this series and am going to see it through to the end, no matter how much it aggravates me.

My review of A Crystal of Time
My review of One True King
December 13, 2017
It‘s always extremely difficult to write reviews of books you love more than life... „Quests for Glory“ is one of them. I‘ve been recommended Soman Chainani from Ever After High doll collector and when I read the first book- I fell in love completely with this author. I understood I found the fantasy world I‘ve been waiting my entire life.
I cannot describe my happiness when I finally got my package from UK (which was taking a lot of time…) and I took this book in my hands. I started reading it immediately. And after reading few chapters I felt how much I want to translate it to Lithuanian. (I translated first chapter and it was a huge challenge) I was very happy to meet Sophie again. (She’s my favorite character because I’m just like her) The author keeps his marvelous style of writing and turning each chapter into “TV-series” that you want to read more and see what happens next. Each chapter is like an episode of fantasy-thriller. Why I love this author so much is because he makes plot twists in each chapter and you can never guess how the entire book will end. He knows how to keep a reader with his story and…then you want MORE. When I noticed his announcement about the 5th book coming in 2018- I was in rainbow-puking-mode. And now when I finished the book- I want a new one RIGHT NOW, because the way it ended makes me lust for “WHAT’S NEXT?!“

This was a pretty good start to the new series. It caught you up to speed with all the old characters, introduced some new ones, built on the lore you knew about the world from the first trilogy, created a new villain and fairy tale to frame the next few books. The pacing was well handled for such a long book, and there were some deaths straight off the bat, which hopefully means that Soman Chainani won't be scared to take risks later on!
I'll have a spoiler review going up when it gets released in the UK that goes over my thoughts in more detail, so I'll make sure to update this with a link then!

This isn’t just The School For Good And Evil # 4, it’s a brand new series! Say whaaat? And here little old me read the entire thing thinking it was a standalone. Feeling disoriented right now. Ugh.
Let me just say, straight off the bat that even though I wish they had left it alone at the trilogy, this book was spectacular. It was more ambitious and more brutal and more complex and more thrilling than the other ones. They was so much more in it.
The mystery was driving me nuts the whole time. Soman Chainani had me guessing and second guessing everyone’s identities, loyalties, motives, intentions. It was intense, yo. The main plot line is SO GOOD. It tops the Good Vs Evil theme by a million percent. I was not expecting that. He trips everything over its head and he does it cleverly.
The development in this book is glorious, Tedros’s especially. It’s easier to seem perfect and commanding when you don’t have to shoulder the burden of a responsibility, when you do, however, well, that’s when the Truth of your capability becomes clear. Tedros is far, far from being the wise and strong king he always thought he would be. He’s young and naïve and makes lots of mistake. I liked this but it also had me conflicted. I was like, why isn’t he becoming wise and defeating his enemies and taking charge and shit? Then the book ended and I realized this was the first book in a new series. Right. Regardless, I liked the “heroes aren’t always perfect” theme there.
Sophie too, while being quintessentially Sophie throughout, has grown a lot. She’s more sincere now to everyone around her and I was surprised to find that I didn’t hate her at all. Much.
I wish, oh, I wish they had gone a different direction with Hort. I’ve always held a soft spot for him and he feels so used. There’s a scene where he thinks about why he keeps going back to Sophie, how deep down they’re both the same, and that touched me. There was something right about that track if it had been pursued.
I like Nicola but she appeared out of nowhere. I previously didn’t give two whits about Chaddick but that changed as well. It’s a well-rounded set of people.
Despite the fact that it was seen from a million miles, the clever illusions and distractions kept me confused and apprehensive so when the twist did come there was an element of surprise in there. These are the things I would very much like to know in the next books:
-What is wrong with Dovey?
-What did Lady Gremaine do and why was Arthur writing her letters? Furthermore, where was the fund for Camelot Beautiful even going?
-What does Aric have to do with anything?
-So Rhian has the Good School Master’s name, and is two people at once? If not, who was the Snake?
-The Snake said that he was close to a boy once and that he had thought his happy ending was with a girl? I’m so lost.
“This is no longer a tale about whether you will find fame or fortune or your perfect little happy ending. This is a tale about whether you are capable of growing from the snake of your own story into the hero of someone else's.”
To sum it up, I enjoyed this vehemently, it turned out to be more serious, intense, mature and tangled up than I expected.

3.25 Golden Stars
this book was more middle grade than the previous books.
everyone had changed somehow; Agatha was more princess-like than that badass character I liked, Tedros was annoying & stubborn & clumsy (he was one of my favourites in the other books)
I don't like Lance & Gwen at all (& Lancelot was my favourite character in Merlin tv shows, so I'm kind of offended by how he was portrayed in this book), Hort was so obsessed, Nicola was sometimes interesting & sometimes Rude (in general I don't like her) & Sophie was annoying as always.
Only Hester, Anadil & Dot were as awesome as before. also the villain was cunningly awesome.
& for the first time, this happened to me: the moment I decided I liked that character, he dropped dead instantly! OMG I was so shocked!
the world was a bit confusing now, as it was bigger .
but the ending was exciting & unexpected! Though sometimes in the book I guessed that would happen (then I thought Nuhhh, that can't happen.) but I was so wrong! & when it happened I wasn't ready. (my favourite trope! yesssss!)
I'm not gonna give 4 stars, just for the last 20 pages. so yeah 3 is good. because it wasn't as good as I expected.

Thriller. Twisting. Hilarious. Relevant. Heart-wrenching. Rollercoaster. These are all words that describe Quests for Glory. I do not say lightly that this is one of the best books I have ever read, especially as the hype for it was astronomical. And boy, did it deliver.
The standout feature of this book (and series too) is the way it highlights the fluctuating boundaries between Truth and Lies, Good and Evil. It's extremely relevant to today's (and I guess most of history's) political climate. People like to believe what feels True. Every villain believes they are the hero of their own fairytale.
[B]eware trying to bend the Truth to fit your story instead of facing it head-on. That was your father's mistake. And that's how a Snake becomes a Lion and a Lion becomes a Snake. Because the more you bend the Truth to fit a story, the more it turns into Lies without you even realizing it.
Is it really a Lie if someone is unwilling to see the Truth?I love a book that makes you think, and every book in this series has done so for me. The School for Good and Evil left me questioning Good and Evil, and subverted the sexist tropes of many fairytales. A World Without Princes brought discussions about femininity, masculinity and the co-existence of multiple kinds of true love. And The Last Ever After highlighted the confusion over what makes a Happy ending happy. Is it you that's Happy? Or what other people expect?
The second thing I loved was how damn twisty this story was. No one is safe. And the major twist left me REELING. I was actually out of breath from the breakneck pace of the finale. Let's just say I did not know who to trust, and at every turn, Chainani had me second-guessing what I suspected about the Snake and his plans. This twistiness made for some extremely gut-wrenching moments. Two scenes - - I had to actually stop reading and have a moment of silence. I'm still in mourning.
I also liked the increasing diversity, with more characters from what seem to be non-European regions, and also the hint(?!) of a potentially queer pairing (), which was an area lacking in the previous three. The humour was class, as always, and the romance was to die for. Hopefully not literally, but from what Quests for Glory was like, I am steeling my Reader heart.
Very, very impressed. Delivered on everything I'd hoped for and more. Highly, highly recommend!My review of The School for Good and Evil

Reseña completa en el blog Letras, Libros y Más próximamente
Esta es la cuarta parte de la saga “La escuela del bien y del mal” que está compuesta por seis libros y dos de un spin off, pero estos últimos tres libros son como un nuevo arco con personajes nuevos aunque también continuamos con los que ya conocíamos. Y aunque el tercero terminó cerrado y lo disfruté bastante tenía miedo de este libro porque no sabía cuánto más se podía estirar la historia pero mi miedo ha sido infundado porque que vicio y que ganas de continuar 😍
La trama está llena de giros, peligros, aventuras y desventuras, algo de romance, magia, traiciones, amistad y cuentos de hadas con su aura oscura. El mundo cada vez es más complejo y grande, algo que me encanta porque está muy bien construido y cada pequeño detalle cuenta, los personajes van evolucionando con la historia y todo se torna cada vez más complicado e intenso pero aún así es muy fácil de leer y te engancha enseguida. La pluma es dinámica y en ningún momento pierde ni el rumbo ni el ritmo, es sencilla con buenas descripciones y diálogos y totalmente adictiva, he estado muy enganchada al libro, pensando en él cuando no estaba leyendo y con ganas de saber cómo iba a terminar. Es cierto que a mí me ha parecido un poco previsible porque adivine todo 😂 pero me ha gustado ver como iba desarrollándose y como todo implosionaba, el viaje ha sido maravilloso y tenía tantas ansias y lo he vivido tanto que me ha dado igual que fuera previsible y los giros me los viera venir porque he sufrido con los personajes, me han enamorado y ahora solo pienso en coger el 5 libro para ver cómo continúa la historia.
Un libro al que no se le puede pedir más. Continuación perfecta que te deja con ganas de más.

June 12, 2023I had, like, three theories and I was correct on one! *high five to myself*
I knew that sneaking bastard was up to something. he was too random and mysterious ... and nice! and now everyone it’s pretty much screwed!
the last chapter was crazy good and I’m mad because cliffhangers are so fucking rude!

𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤: How villains are made by Madalen Duke and New Romantics by Taylor Swift
“𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐀𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐚. 𝐍𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐩𝐢𝐝 𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞, 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭.”
o.m.g this book literally has been my favorite out of the series so far. I think the only thing I can say negative about this book applies to the rest of the series, the books have a little bit of a childish touch to them sometimes and it kinda catches me off guard but in this book I genuinely did not feel that. Everything was so well written and played out that I was hooked from front to start.
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬: I actually thoroughly enjoyed every single one of the characters and didn’t dislike a single one. Usually I’m able to find a flaw or something I don’t like about them but in all every character has their flaws but in this book they all worked through them and fixed it in the end. Ig what I’m trying to say is the character development was really showing off in this book and I adored the characters so much more for it.
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐭: one word - WOW. I mean I was absolutely SHOCKED at every single plot twist in this book. Not a single one of them was predictable or boring (which is saying a lot bc I usually can guess the plots *cough cough* inheritance games book 1 *cough cough*) When I rate books one of the main factors is how much the plot twists shocked me, and oh did this book shock me, frankly I’m still shook.
I wish I could tell you what the books about but I can’t tell you without spoiling the other books 😭
🚨𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝🚨
Ok let me just say this…WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT ENDING?! Like and I thought Chaddick or whatever his name is dying was sad and a big plot twist, but THAT is a whole other level of ‘what?!’. I’m not even gonna lie when I say I was reading the last 50 pages while eating cereal for breakfast and milk literally came out of my nose, that’s how shocked I was. But in all I do feel like this book matured greatly compared to the other three.
𝐀𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐚: honestly I hate how they say shes ugly so I just imagine her as bland in my head bc why not, that was random but I felt like I had to get it off my chest. Anyways, so Agatha I feel like did what she does every book, which is doubting Tedros (or Sophie) and paying for the consequences for her doubts. I honestly think she was the only character in this book who did not change and mature, which is really disappointing because Agatha was one of my favorites before this book and now she’s slowly being replaced by characters who have learned from the past instead of holding onto it. But I think that’s all I have to say about her
𝐓𝐞𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐬: Tedros, Tedros, Tedros…oh Tedros with his over developed stomach muscles. Honestly I love Tedros so much, he’s such a golden retriever and it’s nice to have that for a change bc I usually go for the sarcastic brunettes in books (for example *cough* Jameson *cough*) He grew up so much in this book, you could tell by the way he interacts with Agatha and also how he thinks. I feel like maturity suits Tedros well. But yk he still is a little bit of a people pleaser and insecure, but aren’t we all a little bit like that, so I guess I can sympathize. I do honestly feel like 3/4 of Tedros and Agatha’s problems could be fixed by simply talking about it with each other alone. But I didn’t have an issue w Tedros in this book honestly, he was so cutesiessss
𝐒𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐞: Sophie had such a personality glow up in the book ahhh, I absolutely loved it. But I feel so bad for her, because every single guy she’s been in a relationship w has used her on behalf of evil. And I genuinely think she was happy this time, I have a feeling this will be the start of her TRUE villain arc.
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐧: I love the clan so much, they’re so sassy and snippy and I love it ahah. Off topic but Hort and Nicola were so forced imo, but I’m so sad that Hort moved on from Sophie, I’m still rooting for them to end up together…
🚨𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐞𝐧𝐝, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐰 🚨
I absolutely adore this book and 100% recommend you read it. It’s always so hard for me to write a review on a book I loved so you can only imagine how hard it’s been for me writing this review haha, I hope it’s some what good lol.
ALSO “the Great War by Taylor swift” IS LITERALLY AGATHA AND TEDROS OMG

I honestly think she was the only character in this book who did not change and mature, which is really disappointing because Agatha was one of my favorites before this book and now she’s slowly being replaced by characters who have learned from the past instead of holding onto it. But I think that’s all I have to say about her
𝐓𝐞𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐬: Tedros, Tedros, Tedros…oh Tedros with his over developed stomach muscles. Honestly I love Tedros so much, he’s such a golden retriever and it’s nice to have that for a change bc I usually go for the sarcastic brunettes in books (for example *cough* Jameson *cough*) He grew up so much in this book, you could tell by the way he interacts with Agatha and also how he thinks. I feel like maturity suits Tedros well. But yk he still is a little bit of a people pleaser and insecure, but aren’t we all a little bit like that, so I guess I can sympathize. I do honestly feel like 3/4 of Tedros and Agatha’s problems could be fixed by simply talking about it with each other alone. But I didn’t have an issue w Tedros in this book honestly, he was so cutesiessss
𝐒𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐞: Sophie had such a personality glow up in the book ahhh, I absolutely loved it. But I feel so bad for her, because every single guy she’s been in a relationship w has used her on behalf of evil. And I genuinely think she was happy this time, I have a feeling this will be the start of her TRUE villain arc.
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐧: I love the clan so much, they’re so sassy and snippy and I love it ahah. Off topic but Hort and Nicola were so forced imo, but I’m so sad that Hort moved on from Sophie, I’m still rooting for them to end up together…
🚨𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐞𝐧𝐝, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐰 🚨
I absolutely adore this book and 100% recommend you read it. It’s always so hard for me to write a review on a book I loved so you can only imagine how hard it’s been for me writing this review haha, I hope it’s some what good lol.
ALSO “the Great War by Taylor swift” IS LITERALLY AGATHA AND TEDROS OMG

Wow. Just wow.
This book was by far my favorite after the first one. I am seriously blown away.
I went into this series thinking it was for a younger audience but boy, was I mistaken. These characters, this world, everything has so much depth. All the characters are so god damn likable. I have so much fun reading these, they’re hilarious and extremely dark and everything I want and more.
But THIS BOOK man. It was so good. I loved the Hort POV, I loved the new characters. It took me a while to like Nicola but she’s a baddie. (Hophie ftw tho)
I was literally never bored once throughout this book, I didn’t suspect anything this book threw at me (accept right at the end bc someone didn’t put a spoiler alert in their review 😐). But I was still so shocked by this ending, I was aghast. WHY CANT THEY ALL JUST BE HAPPY😭😭😭. Like my poor Tedros heart, I love him so much, I’m so sad for him.
Oh man, I don’t know what more to say other than how amazing this book was, so so good and now I just keep repeating myself. So just. Read this book.

I think I’m officially done with this series. I thought the first trilogy was drawn out but this one brings the same issues right back to the front: Agatha and Tedros trusting each other; Agatha and Sophie bickering; the nature of good and evil.
Which would be fine if there hadn’t been 1500 pages said on those subjects in the first 3 books.
The pacing of this book was strange. For example, after a major battle, they all went out on a date to a fancy restaurant. So the plot, which had been exciting, slowed to a snail’s pace as Agatha and Sophie read the restaurant’s menu and gaped over the fancy food.
The ending killed it for me. I was contemplating three stars for a while, but the ending - cringeworthy. It was just so obvious.
Despite the cliffhanger, I don’t think I’ll continue. I wasn’t over the moon about the series to begin with and I think I like this one the least of the 4. It really should have stayed a trilogy.

Everyone drank the stupid juice in this installment lmao
This entry is essentially pointless and could have been skipped over or summed up in a 50 page short story. There are no narrative choices I dislike more than having your entire cast become bumbling idiots who drank the stupid juice for the entire story, ultimately leading to their downfall. This is exactly what happens in Quests for Glory. That's my personal taste, as I know some people like it when all roads lead to disaster in stories. Quests for Glory is drawn out and has the page count for a truly remarkable story. Yet, given that space, it somehow has the floppiest stance on character development in the whole series up to this point.
Sophie is back to being the villain's designated powerful but easily swayed GF. This already happened with Rafal, surely Sophie should have learned her lesson by now? Just because a pretty boy says pretty words and plays into your desire to be accepted, Slytherin ambition and all, does not mean he the best intentions towards you and your friends! SOPHIE. What the heck, girl?
Agatha does nothing but have doubts. I don't have a clue what Soman Chainani has in mind with the direction of her character. She was the one I was most excited to read about from the beginning, yet I am no longer enthused when she's on the page. Give our kind Goth Princess some more charisma!
You heard of the Queen of Nothing, but get ready for the King of Nothing, Tedros himself! If anyone does even LESS than Agatha in this book, it's Tedros. The couple spent 6 months not talking to each other and doing nothing but sulk. Now, I've always WANTED to like Tedros - the concept of having the jock and the goth get a royal happy ending is so intriguing to me. I even like Tedros' sad no mom backstory and feelings of abandonment and inadequacy. The boy has the layers, but he has not the brains nor the initiative to carry the story when that's what he should have done. I felt nothing when he lost Camelot. Chainani failed to accentuate the stakes of losing Camelot by not having the characters engage in anything meaningful with Camelot itself, and thus failed to make Tedros' ultimate loss resonate.
Truly, everyone had the stupid juice at one of Sophie's parties and this was the result. I wasted my time with this one. I'll still continue to book 5 to see this through to the end, but with very low expectations.

reread #2- 9/17/20
4 stars(dropped previous rating by 1 star)
I'm not going to lie, this book was quite underwhelming compared to what I expected, but I still like it. It was really interesting to read and re-visit it. This book had a lot of character development and included more of The Coven, which of course I love. It does end with a cliffhanger, and one that completely shocked me the first time I read it, and if it is an ending I do not expect than that is always optimal. Now that I look back, all the hints were there, and I guess middle school me was just too stupid to figure it out, but it has very good build up to the finale and I love and appreciate that. I have the next two books on hold at the library so I'm looking forward to reading them.

Oh my God!!! I did predict the ending but holy sheeeeet! THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING. I couldn’t put it down to save my life. I was literally laughing the whole time and I kept wanting to know what was going to happen next. Dare I say it but I believe this book to be even more addictive than ACOMAF. There was not a single dull moment. Honesty I am actually glad of the ending to this book because it allows some of the characters to have development which I believe they are in dire need!
I swear the next book is going to be my most anticipated read until it comes out

Ok, so I thought The Last Ever After was the best book in the series, but I think this takes the cake. If I didn’t have work, I think I would have finished this in one day. I could not put it down. I really enjoyed the new plot and the new characters, and reading this reminds me of the video game Deathspank that I love so dearly. Maybe some people think this story should have been put to rest, but I’m glad we have the Camelot years. I’m excited for the next book!

What happened??? And I’m sorry about this, I’m rarely this upset about a book.
The School for Good and Evil is one of those series I recommend without reservation, as it’s one of the great examples of excellent literature in the middle grade fantasy genre. In my head, it’s next to Harry Potter and Fablehaven.
So because I already trust this author and loved the first trilogy, I bought this 4th book without even reading the blurb. I wanted no spoilers going in, and even had to unfollow him on Twitter because too many quotes were being shared.
But I was so bored by this book that I ended up skimming the last 300 pages or so.
In pitch format, Quests for Glory has an interesting premise, yes. In a nutshell: A mysterious character, only known as the “Snake”, is ruining everybody’s quests in the Woods, and is also contesting Tedros’s throne in Camelot.
Sounds pretty intriguing, right?
I don’t know how this could have happened to such a stellar series, and unfortunately I won’t be buying the next book... unless if it switches POVs.
I'm sorry Soman. I won't stop recommending the original School for Good and Evil trilogy, but this one just didn't do it for me. :(

Segunda lectura: 25/07/23
Perdona? Este libro no tiene derecho ha ser tan bueno. Además, OLVIDE MÁS DE LA MITAD DE COSAS QUE PASAN ENTONCES YO ANDABA SHOCKEADO TODA LA RELECTURA.
Lean mi reseña abajo, pues si les digo que me pareció esta vez sería redundante.
Lo que si les digo es que este me parece ESPECTACULAR como "primer" libro del conflicto. Y la manera en la que se expande el mundo es simplemente magnifico. Neta que amo la fantasía y este libro es de esos que solo agrandan mi amor por esta.
Primera lectura: 04/03/18
COMO EMPIEZO CON ESTE LIBRO.
Si me conocen bien, saben que The School for Good and Evil es mi serie favorita junto a Divergent, así que ya sabían lo que se venía con este libro. y oH MY GOOD CON ESTE LIBRO. Si alguna vez leyeron alguna reseña que catalogue a un libro como 'game changer' elimínenla de su mente hasta que lean este.
Regresar a este mundo que tiene un lugar enorme en mi corazón es y siempre será un deleite. En este libro el mundo se expande muchisimo y descubrimos más de todo lo que construye esta historia. Fue impresionante ver nuevos lugares, personajes y tramas que conforman esta serie. Amé demasiado la oportunidad de expandirse que se dio el autor y la probada que nos dio me dejo con ganas de más.
Los personajes. QUE PUEDO DECIR DE MIS BEBES. Agatha (fuck, Agatha hace que el aliento se me vaya), Sophie (mi bebe ha crecido mucho la amo omg), Tedros (el chico la tiene dificil BUT HE TRIES), Hort (aka the best character tbh), y los nuevos personajes. TODOS SON ESPECTACULARES Y QUIEN DIGA QUE NO QUE SE PARE. Soman Chainani tiene una habilidad de hacerme enamorar de todos los personajes que crea, sean villanos o no.
Este libro ha elevado la serie por mucho. Ocurren muchas cosas, en especial al final, que ponen los siguientes en un lugar muy excitante. Es algo intimidante pensar en lo que puede y en lo que va a ocurrir, pero confío en que Soman hará lo mejor para su serie.
Btw: PORQUE EL 5 SALE HASTA MARZO DE 2019 VOY A DEMANDAR A ALGUIEN.

Oh Chainani. What happened.
Everything was telegraphed/heavily foreshadowed. Nothing was a surprise. Nothing. So many people died, and very graphically - very different from the feel of the last series, where few died on-page, even in the last battle of the final novel.
I hate what he's done to Agatha, and to Agatha and Tedros' relationship. Agatha is slow, stupid, indecisive, but now has a 'soul voice' that constantly chastises her for 'stealing' Tedros' quest. Agatha and Tedros don't click anymore, and every decision each makes further ruins their relationship.
Also hate those 'scims' things. How is that supposed to be said? I keep thinking "sim" like the game, and it sounds ridiculous.
I'm so disappointed.

Want to read
March 4, 2017Goodreads is marking this book as "want to read" when I actually have no intention of ever touching this. First of all, I don't know why it's a thing. In my opinion TSFGaE should have been a stand alone (was a great one in fact) and was stretched into a truly heinous trilogy. I have not even read the 3rd book because I've been spoiled for things to come and....yeah. Good luck making THAT situation work. So many books series could do to be longer and this sexist transphobic queerbaiting trash gets it? Ugh. I don't even know why I'm writing this honestly.
December 1, 2018
This book was a huge disappointment. It ruined the characters and was incredibly boring, but most of all, this book is pointless. It doesn't need to exist - the previous book ended on a good conclusion that left the reader satisfied with the trilogy. This feels like a poorly executed money-grab that has also spoiled my love for the previous books in turn and tarnished the creative integrity of the author.
February 1, 2020
First, I love these characters. As much as they squabble they come together when it matters most. However, Agatha and Tedros are both holding each other back instead of working together. Sophie is still dangerous in love. All three of them have trouble with making good decisions. That is generally their downfall. They haven't learned from their mistakes yet.
Rhian is an interesting addition. I am not sure if I like him or not. He does know how to work things to his favor, though. Nicola is also an interesting addition. I like her. She is tough and gets right down to business.
The ending was a shocker. There were things throughout the book that gave you clues to this. However, if you are anything like me, you will think "there is no way that is gonna happen". Yes, it happened. Now what? Well, I guess I will have to read the next book and see where it goes.

3.5 stars
I was struggling to get through this book for multiple different reasons. One, the plot was all over the place, pulling things out of its butthole and just now introducing us to things that would have been useful to mention in earlier books.
Another is Sophie development in this book. The main reason I enjoyed the first three novels is due to the fact that Sophie was in it. Her character was astronomical and I loved her with my whole heart. The third book ended with stating that she was happy without a boy and she would love herself, and that’s all she needed. That was beautiful and I stand by whatever she chooses. But….very spontaneously after declaring this, in this novel she decides to throw that out the window and be obsessed with a random knight that popped out of nowhere. She was like “I don’t need boys but I want him.” It pissed me off. I was expecting a book about Sophie being a badass on her own, because in the last trilogy, she was always attached to some boy conforming to the what they wanted instead of being herself. Which yes Rhian doesn’t demand those things of her, but that’s also because he’s manipulating and brainwashing them all. Cmon now, did she really need to accept a marriage proposal from a dude she met like a week or two ago? I guess it does speak to how abusive men will brainwash women into believing they are in love, when in reality the guy is just molding her that way.
Another thing I disliked it Tedros’s existence. But surely that i on me because I prefer not to read about a stale potato chip go on missions and whine about how he should be king just because he is his father’s son.
Now, there were some redeeming things about this as well.
The ending.
Well, I thought the fight with the scims was lame because it only lasted about 20 pages and they only won because rats suddenly know parkour and yeet oil on them. But past that, to the very end with Rhian taking over and turning out to be the villain, I really enjoyed that. That was amazing, I’d expected he had something to do with the snake for the past 100 pages but still, it was nice to have that plotwist.
Nicola. I loved her and I love her representation.
Murders. I really appreciated the author’s willingness to kill off a bunch of his characters in a middle-grade series, it’s shows his dedication to his work, and it always displayed the high-stakes. If everyone survived, no one would be risking anything.
Rhian.
It sounds weird to say this but, I actually really appreciated his character arc/plotwist. It really shows how people can manipulate others into thinking they are a certain way and being the complete opposite.

The plot of this book gets more and more tiresome as the book progresses. There's really no one to identify with, and no one who deserves sympathy. So the fate of Camelot and the Woods is of no interest or consequence.

I liked this continuation although I still don't find it necessary.
