In the epic sequel to the New York Times bestselling novel, The School for Good and Evil, Sophie and Agatha are home, living out their Ever After. But life isn’t quite the fairy tale they expected.
When Agatha secretly wishes she’d chosen a different happy ending, she reopens the gates to the School for Good and Evil. But the world she and Sophie once knew has changed.
Witches and princesses, warlocks and princes are no longer enemies. New bonds are forming; old bonds are being shattered. But underneath this uneasy arrangement, a war is brewing and a dangerous enemy rises. As Agatha and Sophie battle to restore peace, an unexpected threat could destroy everything, and everyone, they love—and this time, it comes from within.
I really enjoyed the first book, The School for Good and Evil, so I was very happy to see the second
book on Edelweiss. What I love most about these books is that even though it
seems like a book for younger children, it isn't. There are many dark themes
throughout it, and it is so much more then just fairytales. It's also about
friendship, honesty, and being comfortable in your own skin.
I really love each and every one of these characters and I
enjoyed watching them grow from book one. Sophie and Agatha, who were friends
in the real world way before the magical world changed their lives, are so
honest and real. I love the bond the two of them share. I also liked Tedros so
much more in this one. He was a lot stronger in book two, and him and Agatha
are just so sweet together!
The writing was fast paced and kept my attention the entire
time. I also enjoyed the illustrations that are seen throughout the chapters. I
am excited to see what is next for these characters!
