WOW! I started reading this b/c I have a 10 year old who I thought may like it. I really am enjoying it. I think it's a good read. It really takes the whole inner beauty to a new level. Sophie is beautiful and only thinks about herself using everyone to get what she wants. Agatha truly good but listens to everyone who says b/c she's ugly she's evil. I really dig Agatha and how she scoffs at the whole waiting for a prince to rescue you. I'm so not down with them training princesses to talk to animals and be losers while Princes get all the defensive skills and the evil's get to use magic. lame. In the end I'm glad it ended the way it did.

This was a cute read for younger teens. I smiled at Sophie and Agatha's adventures and the predicament they found themselves in, but I was surprised at how gruesome the plot was at times. I found Agatha a delightful character with her humour and dry wit, but Sophie became annoying very quickly. The author has created a clever story blending all the elements of fairytales into an enjoyable story that will keep young girls entertained.

Synopsis:Sophie and Agatha are taken to a fairy tale school where children learn to be Princesses or Villains. However, it seems there is a mix-up. Agatha clearly is meant for villain school with her dour demeanor and poor manners while Sophie has been training to be a princess all her life. As the girls are both put into schools they don't feel they belong in and fight to be switched, they prove that maybe there is more to each of them than they realized. Agatha might just have the heart of a princess and there might be something villainess inside of Sophie.My rating:3/5I loved the idea of this book and I loved the characters. I absolutely adored Agatha and found her relatable. Agatha doesn't want to be in this strange world and just wants to go home. At the same time, she is absolutely devoted to Sophie who is one of the only friends she had back in their world. I was so touched by her loyalty and the depths of her friendship even when Sophie is selfish and bratty. On the other hand I loved how princess like Sophie was. She is beautiful, mannered, romantic, etc. She doesn't just want to be a princess, she has many of the qualities associated with fairy tale princesses. I loved the contrast between these two characters but how deep, on Agatha's end anyways, their friendship flowed despite those differences. Sophie is a very selfish character which I felt was what made her suited for villain school while Agatha is loyal and loving which I felt made her an appropriate princess. I could see why they were in the right schools even if they couldn't. My first issue was that at the school Sophie is no different than the other princesses. All of them act entitled, bratty, and selfish. I really hated the school for villains. I thought it was poorly done and I didn't like it at all. The other students at the school weren't kidnapped like Sophie and Agatha but rather are descendants of other fairy tale heroes and villains which made their individual personalities have little to do with their sorting into good or evil school. Instead, if your parent was a hero then so are you. If your parent was a villain then you are too. It isn't a very fair sorting process and many of the villains are actually less "evil" than the heroes. The problem is that, while this is shown, it isn't explored in the depth I would have liked. I found many aspects of the world building and setting in this story to be confusing including what was going on and why. There were explanations given for some of it but overall I just didn't really "get it". There are other books in the series and it is possible some of these issues and elements are further explored in later books but I don't plan to move forward with the series. I hated the set up of the school for villains. It has classes such as making yourself ugly where the characters are taught to give themselves warts. I think what I disliked so much about that is that ugliness doesn't make a villain, even in fairy tales. Similarly, there is a point where we are led to believe Agatha should be a villain because she farts. I hated the good versus evil in this story because the evils presented were things like ugliness and poor manners. Sophie is really the only villain who is a villain because in her heart she is selfish and an ugly person inside (but no more so than ALL the princesses except for Agatha). I also found some of the plot elements confusing. The explanations given didn't make much sense to me. I am not sure if this book wasn't fleshed out enough or if I just missed something but either way this book wasn't a good match for me and I was super disappointed because I loved the premise of this book as well as the characters. There were some amazing moments in this story and I absolutely loved the dynamics between Sophie and the villains at her school as well as her interactions with Agatha. There were so many fun or cool things that happened in this book. I just felt like it missed the mark in many areas and I can't really recommend it though it seems like mine is a minority opinion and many other readers enjoyed this much more than I did.
