Chainani's writing is, as always, engaging, witty, and full of clever references to classic fairy tales. The story is well-paced, with a narrative that's both entertaining and thought-provoking.
Returning home wasn't the fairytale ending Agatha and Sophie expected. When Agatha secretly wishes for a different conclusion to her story, she inadvertently reopens the gates to the School for Good and Evil.
Chainani's world-building continues to impress, with an expanded fairy-tale universe that's both familiar and fresh. The magical school setting is as immersive as ever, with new locations, creatures, and plot twists that keep readers engaged.
