In The Last Graduate, she figured out how to get her class out alive and rid the world of maleficaria, at least for a little while. Our (sort of) hero El, however, changed the game. Even with that, sending your kid to the Scholomance increased the likelihood of any child’s survival from nearly nothing to maybe 50 percent, which is a deal any desperate parent would take. Students faced death every minute of every day, whether from their classmates or from malicious creatures. Over the years since the school’s creation, however, maleficaria crept in and the school’s programming drifted. The Scholomance is designed to keep kids safe from the maleficaria that wants to consume them. This is definitely a series better enjoyed if you begin at the beginning, where you’ll meet El and what become her allies in the Scholomance, a magical school that is decidedly not Hogwarts. If you’ve not read A Deadly Education or The Last Graduate, I’d suggest skipping this review in order to read the first book fresh. Naomi Novik’s The Golden Enclaves wraps up her Scholomance trilogy.
