Absolutely fabulous full color picture book of the school for good and evil. A definite must have for fans of the School for Good and Evil! The only part I didn't like was that they didn't finish Agatha's letter. It was confusing how Soman just cut it off.

A colourful picture book.
Boring for the most part.

Hester’s comments here and there were funny.

Hort’s history lesson was the best it was funny to see his illustrations. And using ‘different names’ for him and Sophie which was so obvious.

Hester and Hort made this book slightly better.

Seeing the uniforms students wore before/during/ after school master era was cool.

Sophie’s comments here and there were cool as well as dean.

Hort being in the ever and never pictures lol.

Seeing the evers ball, circus of talents and trail by tale was exactly how I imagined.

Wish there was more of Aggie/ Sophie/ coven.

Nicolas application was cool too.

Overall not bad a must read if you love SGE series!

This was a really fun read! I loved going 'behind the scenes of SGE and almost seeing what it would be like as a student. Looking forward to reading book 4 now as this little companion book alludes to some possible storylines 😍

Muy bueno y muy completo!
Creo que hice bien en leérmelo después del 5 porque me hice un spoiler del 6 y de alguna manera esto me sube los ánimos para lo que va a pasar.
Amé la dedicación que se nota que le pusieron y penseee que sería más rápido de leer pero si me demoré hartito pa no ser un “libro con historia”

This was a cute addition to The School for Good and Evil world. It had a lot of different items provided with background and gap information.

The illustrations in this book were spot on for me. I love the main series, so of course I was going to read this sooner or later. I just love the extra details and facts we get to see, it feels like I know the world better now than before reading this. If you liked The School For Good And Evil, you'll definitely like this!

Omg. This book was probably one of the funniest things I have read this year. The selections by Hester made it even better. Hester has always been one of my favorite characters,and it was such a relief to see this much of her character. Also,the illustrations were amazing.(and in full color!) I loved the Ever Never Handbook. If you enjoyed SGE,then you HAVE to read this book.

The Ever Never Handbook is the followup to the School for Good and Evil Trilogy, and it will not make sense unless you read the entire trilogy, as well as spoiling it.

1-10 rating: 9

Genre: Fantasy/Retold Fairy Tales

Place it should be on your to-read list: High up, but ONLY if you have read The School for Good and Evil, A World without Princes, and The Last Ever After.

The premise: This book is written as a handbook for would-be new students going to The School for Good and Evil, along with notes from a well-known alumni.

Good points: For fans of the series, this is a brilliant addition that explains many questions we still had left over from the series.

Bad Points: FULL OF SPOILERS if you haven't read the aforementioned trilogy.
