Middle-Grade Review: Fall of the School for Good and Evil (Rise, 2) by Soman Chainani

 

About This Book:

THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD AND EVIL is the #1 movie now streaming on 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 many others!
What rises . . . must fall.
Two brothers 

One Good. 

One Evil. 

In exchange for power and immortality, 

they watch over the Endless Woods 

and rule the School for Good and Evil. 

Yet all School Masters must face a test. 

Theirs is loyalty. 

But what happens when loyalty is corrupted? When the bonds of blood are broken? 

Who will survive? Who will die? And what will become of the school and its students? 

The journey that started a hundred years ago throttles towards its end. This final chapter in the duology that began with the RISE OF THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD AND EVIL brings the tale of the twin School Masters to the brink of war and a shocking conclusion that will change the course of the school forever.

What is good is evil and what is evil is good

What I liked:
Fall of the School for Good and Evil is the final book in the prequel to the main series and picks up where the previous book ends with a shattered school and two brothers who still don’t trust each other the way they should. The theme of what is good and what is evil is constantly discussed throughout this book. Chainani does an outstanding job of catching the reader’s attention, keeping your focus on the book in your hands, and having a plot with multiple levels going on.
Final Verdict:
I am sad that the series is done. I enjoyed the original series a lot, and having these two prequels sets up new readers for the series and answers some questions for those who read and loved the original. We meet a few new characters with these prequels and see some classics that get a twist or two. I felt that the author had a lot of fun writing these, and I think fans of the series will enjoy them and want to share them with new readers.
