Review: The omnibus is worth it - I first read The School For Good And Evil years ago, and my lag between release and reading of each successive novel grew until I lost track completely. When The Rise was released I found it again, and got the omnibus 6-volume edition. It was well worth reading the entire saga as a unified whole. The themes or conflicts of the first three novels are spelled out: Good vs. Evil, Boys vs. Girls, Old vs. New. If I wanted to sort of summarize the themes of the Camelot Years novels (4-6), it's not so clear cut, but I would probably say Truth vs. Lies, Man vs. Pen (which is another way of saying free will vs. determinism), and Love vs. Betrayal. As the story progresses and the characters mature, however, a final overarching theme would have to be Reality vs. Fantasy - and the growing-up realization that the blurrier the lines are, the less black and white and the more shades of gray - the closer to reality life becomes, even in a fantasy world. Another word of Man vs. Pen - within the bounds of the Storian's definitions of Good and Evil lies far more freedom than the possibility that any one Man could redefine reality for everybody. Humans are far too flawed to find absolute authority within themselves. If we have an external source of moral authority to appeal to, we can at least agree on our definitions. So in a way our other "conflict" is between relative authority and absolute authority in the areas of morality and ethics. My favorite character hands down is Hort. From the moment he is introduced as the weaselly underdog to the final triumph at the end, his story is the most heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. As much as I like Tedros, Agatha, and even Sophie (a little), none of them quite outrank Hort. And the way the story winds up by the end of the sixth book... well, read it yourself :-) Let's just say I'm glad he finally got a happy ending. Whether it qualifies as an Ever After for a Never, well, let the reader decide. And the way his character, and his story, develop... I can't help wondering if he's secretly the author's favorite too. Happy endings don't have to be an Ever After. They can just be happy. That's the difference between reality and a fairy tale in a nutshell. Review: Read - My daughter loved the read, great books, the quality is good and looks durable

Amazing Story!
This is honestly a wonderful series! I got so attached to these books, I love them! They are fantasy type books, but they have so much more in them, there's romance, and drama🎭, you get attached to the characters because you get to know them so well, you get to know everything about them, and you end up hanging on there every word, wondering what will happen next. Theres always something new, interesting, and mysterious. Theres always a new mystery to be solved, it gets you interested and just constantly wanting to keep reading to find out whats next.I was so sad when it was over and there was nothing else to read, but at the same time im glad it had a good ending😊 This is one of my new favorite series to read, and I will definitely reread this again in the future.

Fascinating
A completely different take on the fairy tales we all know. The pace of the story is enough to keep you reading, while keeping you guessing more often than not. I enjoyed it very much.

Fun read
The first 3 books had me enraptured. The last 3 were good but personally I’m over the Camelot story arc. But it’s my fault bc I go in bling w books lol if you like anything Camelot this is a very fun series

Fun but not great.
Eh, the series is okay. I really enjoyed the first and the second book. Things got ... weird from there. I think these would be better suited for girls around 11-12. I just didn't really get it.

Edición bolsillo con buena calidad respecto al precio.
El pedido llegó en tiempo y forma. Al comprar el producto no pensé que fueran edición bolsillo, sin embargo son muy lindos. El precio es muy barato para ser 6 libros, así que la calidad de los mismos es bastante buena para el costo. Ninguno de los libros llegó maltratado pero el estuche en el que vienen es muuuy débil, imaginé que sería algo más rígido como cartón. En la imagen no se puede apreciar, pero las hojas son un tanto grisáceas. Las portadas son hermosas y me soprendió que HAYA ILUSTRACIONES en varias páginas de todooos los libros. En resumen: • Buena relación calidad y precio. • Paquete en buen estado. • Ilustraciones en todos los libros.
