2.5 stars---After reading the first and second book in The School for Good and Evil series, I wasn't so sure if I wanted to continue, but I was willing to give the series a few more chances. I wasn't too disappointed, but I didn't love the third book either. There were just too many twists for my liking, and I felt like the book was a good 200 pages longer than it needed to be. Just when I thought the most annoying characters (Ahem, Sophie) had gotten better in the 2nd book...you guessed it, they got worse in the third. As usual, Tedros was a rash harebrain (PLEASE tell me how to say that in a nice way), and I found myself rolling my eyes whenever he made one of his terrible decisions--like MOUTHING OFF EVERY SINGLE TIME he saw a HUMAN BEING, EVEN HIS OWN GIRLFRIEND. (And THIS guy's supposed to rule a KINGDOM)? Also, Sophie. (sigh). We all know what she's like. As usual, she was being a vain, self-absorbed, self-loving spotlight hog, and her TALENT (I'm being sarcastic) was shining even more than usual. At first, I thought Sophie had changed too--but clearly I was wrong. She's just so annoyingly selfish that I almost screamed in frustration while reading this book. She makes horrible, misguided decisions (like loving the School Master TWICE, even though he's a sadistic killer.) Sometimes, I feel like she and Tedros are more alike than any of the other characters in the series. However, there were definitely some good elements. Chainani continues to amaze readers with his lush world-building, and I loved the character descriptions. Hester, Anadil, and Dot were great (as usual), plus our Great Queen Agatha (I'm NOT being sarcastic) has finally ACTUALLY become the queen. Well, almost. She's just so flawed and amazing and...human, I love her as a character. I really wish two characters hadn't ruined this book for me, but they sort of did. I really would have loved "The Last Ever After" if it hadn't been for Tedros and Sophie. So I might give this series one more chance. P.S.: What's up with Aric being a weird creep? P.P.S.: I know this review doesn't sound like it was written by me, but it's my honest opinion.

Before I say anything else about this book, I just want to say it was a decent read. Honestly, I've read worse books, but I definitely had a lot of problems with this one. First of all, I felt that the description was misleading. Where are the thrilling, heart-in-your-throat chases and adventure and fate and great evil I was promised? I didn't even feel compelled to root for the main characters. The book itself felt very forced, passive, and bland. The concept is great but the execution fell flat. I didn't get ANY sense of the peril they were in, and there were hardly ANY cliffhangers that might have helped keep me at least a tiny bit intrigued. The only part of Moving Target that I enjoyed was the last chapter, which made me wonder what would happen to poor Cassie and Asher, but that was about it. Hopefully the second book will be a lot better in comparison to this one. Overall I recommend this to anyone, as it is very mild on violence and there is no bad language.

Not a so bad book just because it has a kinda too simple story and It has a lot of other books from this.

Have you ever wondered about the TRUE (well, mostly anyway) story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs? Well, then you've come to the right book! Meet Borlen, aka Grump. He's an odd dwarf, because he was born close to The Surface. That's not normal for the gem-eating dwarfs, because there aren't many valuable gems and minerals up there. Grump is not used to the treacherous depths of dwarfs' mining caverns. And he's always dreamed of going to The Surface and seeing a human!! How cool would that be for a dwarf?! The one risky thing about going to The Surface is that if someone takes a dwarf by the beard, that unlucky dwarf must do their bidding! But Grump doesn't care. He feels like so much of an outcast already, he thought The Surface would be the place where he really felt like home. So, he decides to sneak up to The Surface to see what it was like! Grump quickly befriends Queen E.V.I.L. until she turns on him and Grump meets Snow White! Suddenly, the queen wants to kill Snow with a poison apple because Grump judged Snow fairer than the queen... ringing a bell from the original fairy tale? But what will happen when BOTH the queen AND Snow White take him by the beard? It's a wild ride from there, and Grump becomes more and more puzzled about how to fix the mess he's in... Read this amazing fractured fairy tale for adventure, humor, and more in this fun spin-off of the classic fairy tale Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs! I recommend this for ages 8+ and rate it 4/5 stars :)

The last book in a wonderful graphic novel series. Princess Mabelrose is forced to fight her aunt, The Dragon Queen. despite that all her friends are there it will be a difficult battle.

Jason Grace has woken up on a random bus full of strangers in the middle of the desert. Jason doesn't know who he is, or why he is here. What's even weirder is that that there's a random girl holding his hand that claims to be his GIRLFRIEND, and this dude named Leo that's supposed to be his best bud.

Martin the Warrior is a great book in Redwall and I loved it. It's a prequel to the first book, basically.

The first Girl Olympics have begun! After countless instances of persuasion and action, the Goddess Girls have finally convinced Zeus to let them host the Girl Games, under the condition that they are officially called the Heraen Games. Now, the goddessgirls train fiercely for different events. But the first girl games do not start out well. Suspected sabotage, overwork on Artemis' part, boy drama, and unexpected hindrances not only make the games the first of their kind, but one of the craziest!

This book is fantastic, and it even is a movie! Like disney Frozen, Tinkerbell and her new sister that she never knew she had have an Anna and Elsa relationship. But soon a hige problem is caused by bringing just one fairy to a place that she shouldn't. It is an adventure that you will never forget!

Apollo has been banished to Earth by Zeus because he has been blamed for his son's actions. Which weren't too bad if you ask me. All Octavian did was manipulate the minds of others, lie to his campers, take over a camp, go mad with power, use al the camp's savings to buy weapons, sent assassins' after the people trying to stop the war, attacked camp half-blood, and turned into a fiery comet screaming like a little girl. Wait... that is pretty bad. Which is why Zeus zapped Apollo and sent him down to earth, face first into a dumpster. Apollo is now 16-year-old, flab and acne encrusted Lester Papadopoulos. With the help of Meg and Percy Jackson, he makes it to Camp Half-Blood where he must help the mortal do tasks, be trained, and write haikus. He must complete a series of trials in order to regain he spot on Mount Olympus, and become a god again. I give it three stars, because from what I can understand, the trial of this book was stopping the crazed emperor, Nero, from burning down a forest that was home to nymphs and giant ants. That didn't even make up much of the book, and it only took 30 pages at most. The book is like 400 or 500 pages long. I am looking forward to reading the other books in the series though. I give this book 3 stars. Happy reading, kids!
