Listen, if you had told me a year ago that my favorite series of the year, the ones I can't put down, the ones I binge through, are ones about small cursed children who have magic in them that they don't know about, that go to magical schools, ugh *chef's kiss.*

  • All the Evergirls trying to plan their ballgowns ahead of time, plus contingency gowns

  • Agatha accidentally eating a fairy upon arrival
    Tricking their reflections to pass the bridge
    The deep mystery of the reader mural, the proof of the balance of good/evil, the School Master's riddle, and so many other threads that start to be woven in book 2, and hopefully book 3
  • Agatha reading more of her Good textbooks and falling in love with that world
    Locking Dot out of the coven
  • Sophie trying to prettify her uniforms
