My Favourite Series. Seriously, Read It!

If you have any doubts about buying this book, let me convince you; it's worth every penny, and quite a few more besides.

A beautiful world, a great sense of humor, beloved characters and a fantastic, action-packed and sometimes surprisingly dark story. My only regret is that I didn't find this series sooner - but as it is, I have a copy of every book, the pages curled and the spines broken from being shoved in my bag for school, later for work, and for every train and car journey. Since I started going to the gym, I paid again for the audiobooks so they could come with me there, too.

No matter how popular these books get, they'll still be painfully underrated. I've been following the School for Good and Evil since the third installment, and I've never once been disappointed in it. The series has comforted me through some of my worst days, bringing magic and wonder to a world that sometimes has a very short supply of it.

I would firmly recommend this series to anyone and everyone, child or adult. If I have any success in life, it will be because these books were behind me, inspiring and supporting me every step of the way. A true and underappreciated modern classic of children's literature.

the perfect fairytale

It was a simple delight from start to finish, which took me about two days as I couldn't stop listening.
the main characters feel real and compelling and use the kind if logic only 12 year old can. and the twists were nice and foreshadowed. lovely work, going to grab the next book as soon as possible.

It’s okay

It’s a good book but…

1.the narrorator is a bit dull just doesn’t capture the essence of the characters voices and emotions

2. It’s a bit messy it just hops between people

3. Umm I don’t think there is a third thing i don’t like

Otherwise the book is good I like the story it’s a good idea
