Stefani I also think that the ending part, especially the kissing part until the end was a bit... forced and abrupt. Even though a true love's kiss might cure anything, I don't think I've read where Agatha knew about that. I think the author could state how Agatha thought in more detail for that scene because it's so special. Also, a goodbye kiss was through lips? I think it's more believable if it was only on her forehead or cheek. I mean, girls don't kiss each other by lips.

(Even though I spoiled myself and now know that the author made them sisters). I always thought Agatha kissed sophie because she loved her ( it can also be because of their friendship). To me I always thought that Agatha had feelings for sophie like when she didn't mind being friends with her, how she thought of their future together in their village (I forgot the name), and how she new sophie was only using her for good deeds. Also agatha didn't have any interest in boys. I new they weren't going to get together,but I was kinda hoping they both wouldn't end up with anybody else. (But I guess that was just wishful thinking).

Satsuki |皐月| Oh my goodness, someone who finally understands me. I read the chapter over again, but still unsure. That's why in my review i said the book was confusing. Maybe it's a true loves kiss, and in the book they said that they were true love (friends i think) and a true loves kiss? Maybe thats why. But if I'm wrong, then i have no clue

Ilka i think that the only reason is because the autor wanted to be edgy

Ray-ray I'm pretty much positive that it wasn't because Agatha thought it would save Sophie. I think it's one of tose, "Goodbye, I'll never see you again now" things and Agatha was merely saying goodbye to her one and only friend.

Angelena I don’t know if the author’s intent was for the girls to be gay but I guess the way it was written kind of shows this. I don’t care if they were supposed to be gay or what.

Mary Haynes I've read through the book several times and this is what I've learned:

The key is at the end of Chp. 11 ("The School Master's Riddle"). When they visit the School Master's tower, Sophie and Agatha learn that they can't go home because they are witch and princess, respectively, and on opposite sides (i.e., Good and Evil). Clearly, the School Master tells them, they belong in a fairytale since they fit their roles so perfectly.

The girls, however, protest that they are friends and not on opposite sides at all, so the School Master demands proof. Basically, he promises Sophie and Agatha that they can go home IF they can prove that they are truly Readers and not a witch and princess.

Then he gives them a hint: "What's the one thing Evil can never have...and the one thing Good can never do without?" <spoiler>The answer turns out to be a prince. A prince HAS to be a part of Sophie and Agatha story if they are to remain in the fairytale world since it is what is keeping them on opposite sides, warring with each other. And for the majority of the book, a prince (Tedros) IS an integral part of their story.

However, when Agatha kisses Sophie, she is cutting Tedros out of the equation. She is proving that Evil (Sophie) can have a prince (i.e., someone who loves her no matter what) AND she's proving that Good (Agatha) can live without a prince (a boy, Tedros). In this way, she gives the School Master proof that she and Sophie don't fit the fairytale mold and thus receives passage home. </spoiler>

Neeru Verma Shore I'm a bit late to the party here, but part of the point of the book is that it's subverting traditional fairy tale tropes. By making the 'true love' not be a prince, they were pointing out the trope of 'princess marries prince' that they'd been putting in throughout the story, especially with Sophie's fixation. Personally, as a queer person, I'd like to see it as them being in a lesbian relationship, but I don't believe that was the author's intent. (I also don't recall them being related? [Spoilers, but didn't their parents just swap?])

Jason Kucer Maybe because they were best good friends so they love each other

Aeduliudaen ᗰETᗩTI She kissed her thinking that it would close the tale and that they would live happily together. WITHOUT TEDROS!

Alexandra Beltran They're in a Fairy Tale. The author makes it clear that both Sophie and Agatha are very familiar with fairy tales and the whole true love's kiss thing. Maybe Agatha was just doing it to see if she could save her, because she truly did love her best friend, or maybe it was a goodbye kiss, or maybe she had feelings for Sophie, we'll never know. I think she was trying to save her, though.
