Lesson One of the Scholomance
Learning has never been this deadly
A Deadly Education is set at Scholomance, a school for the magically
gifted where failure means certain death (for real) — until one girl, El,
begins to unlock its many secrets. There are no teachers, no holidays, and no
friendships, save strategic ones. Survival is more important than any letter
grade, for the school won’t allow its students to leave until they graduate… or
die! The rules are deceptively simple: Don’t walk the halls alone. And beware
of the monsters who lurk everywhere. El is uniquely prepared for the school’s
dangers. She may be without allies, but she possesses a dark power strong
enough to level mountains and wipe out millions. It would be easy enough for El
to defeat the monsters that prowl the school. The problem? Her powerful dark magic
might also kill all the other students.
My Thoughts
I’ve never read a Naomi Novik book. I need to. Uprooted
and Spinning Silver sound like they’d be my kind of thing, but I just
haven’t picked them up yet. This one, though, it looks pretty good. Plus,
Owlcrate is doing a special edition, and I want it. I really hope the story is awesome,
because I’m going to be paying a lot of money for a copy of this book. Eek.
What book are you
waiting for this Wednesday?
I'm actually curious about this one myself! I just ordered the Owl Crate version since it sounds sooo beautiful! Lol!
