nujibuji's review against another edition
2.0
This was a tough series to rate. I liked many of the concepts and issues that the author tried to tackle, but there were way too many contradictory and hypocritical storylines. Some lines were downright off-putting. The premise reminded me of Harry Potter, but then I was rudely reminded that I was reading a children's book with the mention of farting princesses and other times it was odd to read a children's book with so much violence and gore. This was definitely a creative world and creative premise, but way too much was going on for me to really appreciate it.

It is, the climax. And the end, too. Finally. Though it wasn’t a bad journey for me.
It has been a time since the moment I finished reading the book and the moment I’m writing the review, so it won’t be as fresh as it would have been then. But I kind of liked it. Kind of because it was pretty hurtful for a girl feeling identified with the lot of emotions shown there, especially Agatha’s. For when she thought she was right. And for when she noticed she was wrong. I felt like Sophie too, when she was desperately looking for someone that loved her. So it was painful.
But it also showed me that I was right to think that one of the things this story was teaching me was to be true to myself. They weren’t and that’s why everything happened (uhm, Tedros was truer to someone else than himself, but I liked that, he was soft and cute and open and loyal to the person he loved, trusting them a lot more than himself, and for that I forgive him). Also because they don’t communicate, I really don’t understand! You’re honest and open from the start and you save a lot of that. It was maddening, a bit, but that’s how that story is.
At least it had a happy ending for everyone, but the villain. Well, the Big Bad Villain and his league, because it has lots of villains and not all of them deserved bad. I like happy endings. Though honestly I didn’t expected the book to finish right were it did, thinking that it would show us some of what it talked a lot during the three journeys, but that’s okay. I can be content with it.
Even when my friend didn’t read it with me this time, she didn’t even start it at all.

I loved this book! The ending was very satisfying and it made me cry. Soman Chainani writes a fantastic fairy tale ending.
I'm very happy we find out more about the girl's mothers and I loved everyone's development. I would love a novella about how everyone gets on after the story ended. A paragraph or two about Dot, Anadil, Hester, Hort, Sophie, Agatha, Tedros, Merlin, and Dovey to name a few.
Such a good story

More like 3.5 stars for the last book, The Last Ever After, in the School for Good and Evil series.
Suddenly every rustle of her body was a disturbance, every thought in her mind a nuisance, until she, like Merlin and Tedros, had a perfect stillness, as if they'd become the silence and the silence become them.
