Publisher's summary

The School for Good and Evil will soon be a major motion picture from Netflix - starring Academy Award winner Charlize Theron, Kerry Washington, Laurence Fishburne, Michelle Yeoh, Sofia Wylie, Sophie Anne Caruso, Jamie Flatters, Earl Cave, Kit Young, and more!

In this fifth installment in Soman Chainani’s New York Times best-selling The School for Good and Evil fantasy series, the past will come back to haunt the present.

A false king has seized Camelot’s throne, sentencing Tedros, the true king, to death. While Agatha narrowly escapes the same fate, Sophie is caught in King Rhian’s trap. With her wedding to Rhian approaching, she’s forced to play a dangerous game as her friends’ lives hang in the balance.

All the while, King Rhian’s dark plans for Camelot are taking shape. Now the students of the School for Good and Evil must find a way to restore Tedros to the throne before their stories - and the future of the Endless Woods - are rewritten...forever.

Don't miss the thrilling conclusion to the beloved series, The School for Good and Evil #6: One True King!

Overall Good sequel

This sequel, like the other 3 , is easy to listen to. The readers voice/ performance is great.
The plot is simple and in most cases predictable, however the behavior of the characters makes it interesting.

Overall, if you liked the previous four books ( or any of them) I suggest you give the book a try.

loving this direction

I love how these books kind of grow with the reader so I'm loving it it doesn't stay super young and cheerful and oblivious for long. it's definitely giving High School drama like coming into adulthood. I love the performance the only thing that like literally kills me with this narrator is Tedros' voice is horrible! but hey it's super challenging to be great at all of the voices. the narrator does a solid Agatha and Sophie.

One of the best!

I think that Soman played out the story well and it will keep people on the edge, as it kept me on the edge.
I absolutely cannot wait until another book comes!
Highly recommended for kids between the ages 10-12.

This book is by far my favorite book in the series! I can’t wait till the 6th book comes out in Audible! I think the ending or Sophie was a sad but everything always comes out ok...

Much better

Now—now this is getting much better. I felt like this story was less problematic than the other stories with only a few things that still bother me. The plot and characters had more development and I’m actually excited for the next book this time!
