But this time there is a more hopeful tone as El is no longer fighting to survive on her own but now has friends at her back and a plethora of allies. Once again, we are taken to the Scholomance where a horrific death is around every corner and in every shadow. I kept having to go back serval pages to figure out who El was talking too. I will say that the fast pace and many side characters often meant I kept forgetting who was who and mixing up characters. It makes for a quick, but intense read and impossible to put down. A book that grabs you on a roller-coaster and refuses to let you off. Like in A Deadly Education, The Last Graduate is a whirlwind of a read. With flawless mastery, Naomi Novik creates a heroine for the ages-a character so sharply realized and so richly nuanced that she will live on in hearts and minds for generations to come.A fantastic sequel for a series that has become one of my favourites. I may not be anyone’s idea of the shining hero, but I’m going to make it out of this place alive, and I’m not going to slaughter thousands to do it, either.Īlthough I’m giving serious consideration to just one. The school itself certainly does.īut the Scholomance isn’t getting what it wants from me. Sometimes I think they want me to turn into the evil witch they assume I am. Just give me a chance and I’ll level mountains and kill untold millions, make myself the dark queen of the world.Īt least, that’s what the world expects me to do. Most of the other students in here would be delighted if Orion killed me like one more evil thing that’s crawled out of the drains. I don’t need help surviving the Scholomance, even if they do. Forget the hordes of monsters and cursed artifacts, I’m probably the most dangerous thing in the place. I’m not joining his pack of adoring fans. Far as I’m concerned, he can keep his flashy combat magic to himself. I decided that Orion Lake needed to die after the second time he saved my life.Įveryone loves Orion Lake.
