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. 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. Although Novik ties up the series well, the slower pace and elaborate world-building weren’t my favorite. However, a brewing enclave war threatens the lives of everyone they saved and El must return to the Scholomance when she begins to uncover the true nature of the enclaves.

Though she escaped the Scholomance, she grieves Orion who was left behind. In the conclusion of Novik’s spellbinding dark academia trilogy, El must deal with the aftermath of her grand graduation breakout.
