Here are my thoughts on rereading Book 1 of School for Good and Evil
Ive literally been obsessed with this book series since I was like 11 and now I’m 20 so I have some thoughts!! The last time I reread the series in full I was like 17?
DISCLAIMER I AM JUST A GIRL WHO ENJOYS THESE BOOKS. No Jane Austen so don’t expect groundbreaking stuff people just my opinions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
• First of all Agatha is literally the best character in this book. Like her character development is incredible. The section with Dovey and finding her beauty AAAH. Gets!!me!!every!!time!! Like no one deserves her loyalty. I also forgot how smart she was. Like ok brains!
• I’m sorry I can’t stand personally Sophie in the book. I couldn’t when I was 11 and I can’t now. But she definitely is the cause of some of my fave moments e.g when she tricks Tedros into turning against Agatha “Learned that from my favourite princess” (SO MANIPULATIVE AND EVIL I LOVE IT) She is just such a great character to read but irks me at the same time.
• Sophie and Agatha’s relationship in this book just so meh to me now. Like I used to be like oh #besties!! But now I’m like “Agatha STAND UP FOR URSELF” I get it’s a huge part of the book but Sophie truly doesn’t deserve that level of friendship IM SORRY. Also Agatha I love you but you are such a doormat sometimes
• Fun fact I used to hate Tedros when I first read the books. 11 year old me was like nah. I just did not get the appeal at all. Now I definitely understand him better and actually like him!! Like the trauma from his parents is sooo apparent and just makes him so much deeper than I actually realised at 11 lol. My heart was breaking when Sophie revealed herself at the Trials (I still think “god he was such a cry baby in this book”)
• The coven of course iconic as always. Hester was one of my favourite parts of this reread. The dynamic with Agatha CHEFS KISS
• Hort was pathetic as always !! He is one of my fave characters so can slander him too much bless. HIS POOR PJS!
• The background Nevers: Ravan (ICON), Brone, Vex, Mona, Arachne. Definitely prefer them over the Evers. I just loved every piece of dialogue they had. It makes me sad that they weren’t as involved as the books go on :( And honestly the Never camaraderie is far superior to the Evers and I’m an Ever myself! The background Evers are okayyyyyyy. I have a soft spot for Chaddick (if you know you KNOW)
• Beatrix when she bashed Agatha into the wall. Fuming. Also Tedros should have strangled the bunny. WHO SAID THAT
• School Master can die hate you OLD CREEP. No notes
• The scene at the circus of talents with the wolves and fairies. EVERYTIME.MAKES.ME.SO.EMOSH. Shoutout old white wolf. I FORGOT SOPHIE KILLED THEM??!
• One opinion that hasn’t changed however is Tedros and Agatha’s slow burn in this book. Like yes PLEASE. The scene when she faints. Him choosing her in Yubas class. THE SCENE WHEN SHE SAYS SHE HAS PUT A HEX ON HIM. Best ship in the series I SAID IT!
• While reading I was trying to picture the age of the characters. For Sophie and Agatha I was thinking like 14?? Has it ever been confirmed how old they are anyways
• Honestly I was itching back to read it as soon as I stopped. This series is just so nostalgic to me.
I’m not excited to read about Aric though. BOO BOO TOMATOE TOMATOE (but like who is his dad fr?!?)
Hope you enjoyed me rambling
