From Goodreads:
In the epic next chapter of Soman Chainani’s New York Times bestselling series, The School for Good and Evil, everything old is new again as Sophie and Agatha fight the past as well as the present to find the perfect end to their story.

As A World Without Princes closed, the end was written and former best friends Sophie and Agatha went their separate ways. Agatha was whisked back to Gavaldon with Tedros and Sophie stayed behind with the beautiful young School Master.

But as they settle into their new lives, their story begs to be re-written, and this time, theirs isn’t the only one. With the girls apart, Evil has taken over and the villains of the past have come back to change their tales and turn the world of Good and Evil upside down.

Readers around the world are eagerly awaiting the third book in The School for Good and Evil series, The Last Ever After. This extraordinary new journey delivers more action, adventure, laughter, romance and fairy tale twists and turns than you could ever dream of!

I really enjoyed the first two books in The School for Good and Evil series. I really enjoyed this take on good and bad, the traditional fairy tales and what true love really is. I was really looking forward to getting into the third instalment of this really fun series… and unfortunately I was really let down.

I don’t really know what specifically it was about this one I didn’t like, after I really liked the first two. The characters just started really annoying me… all of them. I mean Tedros is supposed to be the prince we all love and every time he opened his mouth I just wanted him to shut up. Agatha was irritating me… Sophie was just making stupid decision after stupid decision. I just felt like everything was getting drawn out just for the sake of it. It baffles me that there are 3 more books. I had been listening to the audiobook for well over a month, and I was only 50% so I decided to just cut my losses and DNF.

I’m super sad that I didn’t like this one. I might go back to it at some point in the future and try it again, in case it was the mood that I was in but for now this one, and the rest of the series is a DNF.
