A decent enough read, though I'm not sure if I will continue with the series. My daughter loves the books and I can see why she likes them so much.
I think it is well balanced for older young readers, with not too much gore but enough going on to keep them reading.
I like the idea of a school where the characters in fairytales go to learn, though I found that much of the time, the "evil" students were nicer than the "good" ones ( barring Sophie of course, who was obviously evil from the very start).
