The Last Graduate completely sucked me in from start to finish! Galadriel has managed to survive three years at her deadly magical school, the Scholomance, with her junior year capped by an epic battle against a fearsome assembly of maleficaria (magical creatures that feast on wizards, especially youthful ones), as related in the first book in this fantasy series, A Deadly Education. If you haven't, read both!! Here's my full review, first posted on : But STILL! If you've read the first book, definitely read this one, even if you weren't so excited by A Deadly Education.
okay, maybe except for the jaw-dropping ending. 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.On sale now! I can't even say how much I loved this book. 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. From the New York Times bestselling author of Uprooted and Spinning Silver comes the story of an unwilling dark sorceress who is destined to rewrite the rules of magic.
