“‘Something out there is hurting
our students and your quest is to find it…’ Before they can graduate, the
students at the School for Good and Evil must complete a Quest for Glory,
leaving the bounds of school on the biggest adventure of their lives. The
quests are dangerous and unpredictable, and the stakes are high. If Good and
Evil can’t find a way to work together, can either side survive? Agatha, Tedros
and Sophie are back in this action-packed fourth adventure in the School for
Good and Evil series.”
What is the book about?
During their fourth
year at the School for Good and Evil each student is assigned a quest by the Deans
that they must complete to be able to graduate. Strangely, all students are mysteriously
failing their quests and many Ever and Never kingdoms are being attacked. These
invasions are not random as it seems that this unknown attacker is surrounding
Camelot, clearly on its way to attack Tedros’ kingdom. The Dean for Good has
decided to change all students’ quests so they now must complete together a new
quest to find out who is responsible for causing panic throughout the Woods. But
this isn’t an ordinary quest as the fate of Good and Evil depends on them working
together to survive, this is like no Evil anyone has ever seen before, Good and
Evil must work together to stop it from taking over the Woods and changing
their lives forever.
What were your initial thoughts on the book?
I wasn’t too desperate
to start this book because as The Last Ever After was meant to be the last book
the ending was quite good and it didn’t leave me waiting for the next book. Of
course, I still wanted to read the fourth book because Agatha and Sophie’s
adventures are always so interesting so I was glad there was another one, I
knew without doubt I would love this book like all the other School for Good
and Evil books. As soon as I started reading I already had 100 questions, with
about 60% of them about the coronation, I liked how it started because it
immediately began with action and there wasn’t anything explaining what
happened in the first 3 books and the adventure started just like that. The
beginning of the book instantly hooks the reader and all of a sudden you are
back in Agatha and Sophie’s world with another war beginning.
Who was your favourite character and why?
In this book, as there
were a lot more important characters, who were more than just Sophie and Agatha’s
friends, or random students at the School for Good and Evil, it was impossible
to pick a favourite character, I found that a lot of people had bigger roles
and were in more than just a couple of chapters. Like in the other 3 books, I
liked Agatha and Sophie because of their bravery and leadership, even though
other characters had bigger roles, the girls still had the biggest roles and
were the most important characters, always helping the other get out of
trouble, though a lot of other people were essential. One character that really
surprised me was Tedros, usually he is just another boy in the story and has
role that has a huge effect on Agatha and Sophie but in Quests for Glory he
turns out to be as significant as the girls maybe even more, as this story
involves his family and his kingdom. I also really liked the Coven because even
though in the books they do prove that they are important, they never seemed
like the friendly type that will be there for each other but in the fourth book
they show that they are best friends just like Agatha and Sophie, and care
about each other just as much.
What was your favourite part of the book and
why?
Everything in the book
was great but nothing really stood out to me so I don’t thing I really had a
favourite part in Quests for Glory. I liked the last chapter a little more
because in a part of it everyone was happy and they all though they had
succeeded with their quest. This book is a little different from all the others
because I think that it is a joint book with the fifth as they haven’t yet
finished their quest and the book doesn’t really end happily. I also liked the
beginning because I learnt about how Agatha, Sophie and Tedros were dealing
with their Final Ever After. I found it a little weird that in this book they
didn’t really spend much time at the School for Good and Evil but I really like
meeting a few of the new students at the school and the fact that one of them
has an important part in the story.
What was your overall impression of the book?
Overall the book was
absolutely incredible, I loved everything about it and I don’t think that there
is anything that I hated or specifically disliked about it. One thing that
really made it stand out is the fact that in Quests for Glory there are more
people who get parts of the story told in their perspective. This really helped
me get to know other people more and know what they were thinking about the
quest and everything that had happened. I got to know more about the Coven and
Tedros; I even found out a bit about Hort and got to see things from his point
of view. This was something new to the School for Good and Evil series and I
think that it made the book much better and without it the book would have been
really confusing, I think that if it had been added into the other 3 books it
would have also been helpful. The only thing that I found a bit annoying is the
ending as it was very suspenseful and I was left with questions unanswered. I
knew that it would end a bit like that because I had seen the 5th book
and had also seen it coming but it still annoyed me a little because I have to
read another book to find out what happened to the Snake and everyone else, but
I am not too worried because as these books tend to start right away I should
find out soon enough.
Which book did you like better: 1, 2, 3 or 4?
My favourite book is
still The Last Ever After because of the huge twist in the story; I think that
is forever going to remain the biggest shock I have ever gotten. All the School
for Good and Evil books were amazing and of course they all had twists and
turns but I saw them all coming so when they were mentioned I wasn’t at all
surprised and they seemed a bit like old news. The ending of Quests for Glory
made me love The Last Ever After even more because as the fourth book was very suspenseful
and was a huge cliff-hanger, the perfect ending the third book had seemed even
more unbelievable, this really influenced my choice a lot because everyone was
happy and they all got the right ending for them, instead of having an unhappy
ending with everyone in the wrong place. I wonder what the fifth book will be
like and if everyone will finally be able to defeat the enemy.
Would you recommend this book?
There are no words
that can describe how much I love the book, it could easily be one of the best
books I have ever read and if you have read any other School for Good and Evil
books then you should read it. I absolutely recommend the book and I
think anyone around the age of 13 will love it.
Summarise the book in one sentence. (Verdict)
An enchanting action-packed,
dangerous fourth adventure with Agatha, Sophie and Tedros.
