In this fifth installment in Soman Chainani’s New York Times bestselling 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.

Review:

A Crystal of Time is the 5th book in the School For Good and Evil second book in the Camelot years. We continue to follow Sophie and Agatha in a chaotic ride that keeps you guessing who is good and who is evil. Rhian rules Camelot, and the Twin brother Rhian and the world believe that Rhian is King Arthur’s heir. What unfolds is more clues about Tedros father, Sophie and Agatha are tested again on their friendship, and is this all just more trials for the one true king that will rule Camelot? This series has lots of twists and turns; I think the Author has created a unique world and kept me reading beyond the original series. I am excited to read book six and see who is the one true king.
