The School for Good and Evil #2: A World Without Princes - Soman Chainani (Book Review)


I've blogged about the first book of this trilogy and now here's the second one! Wheee~~

First of all, it's still so so action-packed and addicting, just that...


Summary:

The story starts with Sophie and Agatha back in their hometown, Galvadon, and they're sort of "heroes" and Sophie's still her bossy self and trying hard to be good and Aggie well, she matured a bit I guess. So Sophie's father is getting married to Honora and Sophie didn't like that but she won't do anything because she doesn't want to be a witch again. During the wedding, Agatha made a wish. She wished a different ending to their story and all of a sudden, arrows from the School start flying towards the town. Those arrows were for Sophie and Sophie's dad locked her up in a church to protect her. But one day, the Elders lied to Sophie's father that they would bring Sophie to a safe place and Sophie's father fell into their lies and entrusted them with Sophie. So one night, they brought Sophie to the woods to get her killed and obviously, Agatha came and rescue her. And they managed to find their way back to the School.

After Agatha chose Sophie over a prince, Tedros, everything changed. School for Good and Evil now became School for Girls and Boys. All male teachers were evicted from the School for Good/Girls. Now Tedros runs the School for Boys. What's even twisted is that there's a new Dean for the School for Girls. Dean Sader. Professor Sader's sister. With butterflies as her spies, she can hear anything and everything. To make everything back to normal, Agatha has to either wish for Sophie and mean it or kiss Tedros, whichever her heart wants. Deep down, Aggie wants her prince but she feels that she can't betray her friend again, so she chooses to wish for Sophie. But they have to get the Storian first and then wish so it could write The End in their storybook. 

BUT the Storian has gone missing and Tedros declares a Trial by Tale in ten days. With the help of Yuba, Sophie turns into a boy and goes into their tower to find the Storian. She's got the whole school rooting for her but she unluckily gets to bunk with Tedros. She falls in love with him all over again and at the day of the Trial, Tedros tries to kiss Sophie and Agatha saw it. Now, Aggie feels betrayed and pissed.....

My Thoughts: 

Blah blah blah, not gonna tell you the ending. :P
Just know that shit happened and you'll wanna sleep forever till the 3rd book comes out because you're gonna die over and over again just waiting for answers and the real ending.

The beginning of the book is quite boring but it gets exciting when Sophie goes into the boys' school. Still so addicting and amazing the way Soman writes. This is just the perfect way to make readers realise that friends are important too. Sometimes, more important than your partner. 

Can't wait for #3! xoxo
