"Sardonic students, gruesome monsters, growing friendships, and a touch of romance create a highly readable story.
Scholomance trilogy closes with a breathtaking cliff-hanger." - Booklist (starred review) "The climactic graduation-day battle will bring cheers, tears, and gasps as the second of the A must-read for fantasy fans." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Novik puts a refreshingly dark, adult spin on the magical boarding school. I loved this brilliant book." -Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Caraval series
"Novik skillfully combines sharp humor with layers of imagination to build a fantasy that delights on every level. "The Scholomance is the dark school of magic I've been waiting for, and its wise, witty, and monstrous heroine is one I'd happily follow anywhere-even into a school full of monsters." -Katherine Arden, New York Times bestselling author of The Bear and the Nightingale Novik is, quite simply, a genius." -Kiersten White, New York Times bestselling author of And I Darken Naomi Novik deliciously undoes expectations about magic schools, destined heroes, and family legacies." -Holly Black, #1 New York Times bestselling author "A gorgeous book about monsters and monstrousness, chockablock with action, cleverness, and wit. And the first thing I've got to do now, having miraculously gotten out of the Scholomance, is turn straight around and find a way back in. Someone else has picked up the project of destroying enclaves in my stead, and probably everyone we saved is about to get killed in the brewing enclave war. Ha, only joking! Actually, it's gone all wrong. Our graduation plan worked to perfection: We saved everyone and made the world safe for all wizards and brought peace and harmony to all the enclaves everywhere. So much for my great-grandmother's prophecy of doom and destruction. I'm out, we're all out-and I didn't even have to turn into a monstrous dark witch to make it happen. But it's all we dream about: the hideously slim chance we'll survive to make it out the gates and improbably find ourselves with a life ahead of us, a life outside the Scholomance halls.Īnd now the impossible dream has come true. Not even the richest enclaver would tempt fate that way. The one thing you never talk about while you're in the Scholomance is what you'll do when you get out. ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Paste, Publishers Weekly
Description #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER - Saving the world is a test no school of magic can prepare you for in the triumphant conclusion to the New York Times bestselling trilogy that began with A Deadly Education and The Last Graduate.
