kaikai1618's review against another edition
I really loved this addition to my book self. I loved learning more about the characters after book three along with seeing these characters portraits after having an uncertain image of them in my head.
Personally Hort is my absolute favorite and I loved seeing his humor in the book and learning new information about him. His comic strips were hilarious, especially the mysterious love story between Bort and Lophie (and Kedros and Hagatha) for we will never know who those people are

And I was absolutely right. This book is exactly what it says it is: It’s a guide for a first year student on what to expect from the school for good and evil and it’s hilarious at times and quite insightful too. Not only do the characters get the chance to display their funny side in letters, notes, remarks and even cartoons, but the illustrations help to bring this fantasy world to life.
More than once I’ve been laughing out loud, mostly because Sophie’s additions to this book are a times truly ridiculous, but also because Hester’s notes seem way more informative and helpful and Hort’s cartoons were just downright amazing. And I also loved all the nods and winks to the old and well known fairytales we all grew up with.
If only there was truly a school for good and evil. I’d surely apply to become the next princess and queen of some kingdom and I’m sure I’d find a nice prince to share this adventure with! (And a couple of amazing friends and animal companions!)

This was really fun to read! But I did end up spoiling some things for myself for the rest of the series :p

It answered lots of questions I had, even some I didn't even know I had, and served as a good bridge book between [b:The Last Ever After|18004320|The Last Ever After (The School for Good and Evil, #3)|Soman Chainani|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1421947451s/18004320.jpg|25268052]. It dropped a few hints for the next book ([b:Quests for Glory|31212082|Quests for Glory (The School for Good and Evil The Camelot Years #1)|Soman Chainani|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1488534185s/31212082.jpg|51866008]) - as though I wasn't desperate enough to read it before! (It releases in September - soon...)There were plenty of laughs, as per, and I basically read it in one sitting! Weirdly, some of the pages in my edition were in the wrong order, but there weren't any missing so I didn't mind too much. Overall, it didn't blow my socks off but has definitely piqued my interest in the next one (to an almost painful degree)

As a companion book to [b:The School for Good and Evil|16248113|The School for Good and Evil (The School for Good and Evil, #1)|Soman Chainani|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1490529205s/16248113.jpg|21599439] series (which I absolutely LOVE), I was so so excited to finally read this! I haven't bought a non-Kindle book in about a year - no room - but I made an exception for this, knowing that there were so many gorgeous illustrations throughout the book.

A fun book to own. this book gives a deeper look into the schools. With brilliant drawings by Michael Blank. The handbook is what the students at the school would be given but this particular one has scribbles and notes from Hester inside. This book also has Easter eggs of what is to come in the next book.
