Added DiffLines:

* BaseBreakingCharacter:
** Sophie is either a nice, fresh take on fairytale witches who is surprisingly complex and flawed or a annoying idiot who never learns from her mistakes and mistreats Agatha constantly. The fact that her characterization differs between books doesn't help.
** Tedros. He's either liked for being a prince Charming with depths, burdens and flaws or disliked for being a jerkass who thinks he knows better than everyone else and doesn't listen to Agatha.


Added DiffLines:

* FanDislikedExplanation: The plot twist in the third book that Agatha and Sophie are [[spoiler:sisters]] is not particularly liked as it lessens [[spoiler: their friendship as they didn't chose to be friends and that there fates were always intertwined. It also destroys the (at the time) popular reading that Agatha and Sophie were in love with each other romantically.]] It also barely comes up afterwards, making it seem like it was there for shock value.


Added DiffLines:

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter:
** Nicola of the Woods Beyond is introduced as a intelligent, hard working reader with a knowledge of fairytales. Her entire contribution to the story is that she dates Hort and later breaks up with him.

Added DiffLines:

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Sophie: Is she selfish, deluded and ungrateful, or just misunderstood? After all, her mother died, leaving her with her father who hated her, she had to watch him marry the woman who was her mother’s ''friend'', and after all of that, her best friend almost left her for a man, just like what happened to her mother.

* DryDockedShip: A lot of fans headcanon that Professor Dovey and Lady Lesso used to date while in school. This especially became popular after the [[Film/TheSchoolForGoodAndEvil2022 film adaptation]]

Broken Aesop is not YMMV.


* BrokenAesop:
** Professor Dovey puts a "spell" on Agatha that turns her beautiful. Afterward, Agatha walks around the school leaving a trail of turned heads, dropped jaws, and blushing behind her. When she finds a mirror, however, she realizes that nothing about her original appearance was changed. The "spell" Professor Dovey cast was a placebo to give her confidence, and that confidence was what made people attracted to her. She was beautiful all along. However, if you are confident, will everyone be attracted to you by default? And because Agatha's attractiveness is taken as evidence of her beauty, does it mean that you have to be attractive to be beautiful?
