Quests for Glory (The School for Good and Evil Series #4)

by Soman Chainani

Overview

If Good and Evil can’t find a way to work together, neither side will survive. With every end comes a new beginning in the fourth installment of Soman Chainani’s New York Times bestselling School for Good and Evil series, Quests for Glory. Now with a beautifully redesigned cover!

Join Sophie, Agatha, Tedros, and the other students as they begin a new era in the Endless Woods—The Camelot Years—where Evers and Nevers alike must move beyond the bounds of school and into the biggest, boldest adventures of their lives.

The students at the School for Good and Evil thought they had found their final Ever After when they vanquished the malevolent School Master. Now, on their required fourth-year quests, the students face obstacles both dangerous and unpredictable, and the stakes are high: success brings eternal adoration, and failure means obscurity forever.

For their quests, Agatha and Tedros are trying to return Camelot to its former splendor as queen and king. For her quest, Dean Sophie seeks to mold Evil in her own image. But soon they all feel themselves growing more isolated and alone.

When their classmates’ quests plunge into chaos, however, someone must lead the charge to save them . . .

Editorial Reviews

2017-09-21
A sudden rash of kidnappings and random violence kicks off a major challenge to the reign of King Arthur's newly crowned son, Tedros.The shining titular promise of the previous episode, The Last Ever After (2015), fades as Tedros—noble at heart but paralyzed by self-doubt and, it must be said, dumb as a box of rocks—refuses to ask his clever, loving fiancee, Agatha, for help dealing with pirates and other raiders. Meanwhile, back at the titular school, her glamorous BFF, Sophie, newly appointed Dean of Evil, discovers that all of the fourth-year students are somehow failing in their obligatory, assigned Quests. With a crew of allies (including Nicola, a nonmagical but quick-witted Reader), Agatha and Sophie set out to investigate and discover amid a characteristic mix of tongue-in-cheek set pieces and harrowing scrapes that a (possibly) legitimate contender for the throne of Camelot has risen, with deadly powers including (apparently) the ability to twist and corrupt storylines with "different truth." In a slow-to-arrive but catastrophic climax, Agatha, Tedros, and the rest discover too late that they've been thoroughly played throughout; the final pages find them not only routed in battle, but tricked into a series of devastating betrayals. Bruno's polished vignettes add appropriate notes of humor and horror and reveal Nicola to be black, in contrast to the mostly white or pale-skinned cast.New chapters in this metafictional romp leave the villains ascendant. Stay tuned. (color map) (Fantasy. 11-13)
