A Deadly Education (The Scholomance, #1)

von Naomi Novik

Format:Hardcover

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of Uprooted and Spinning Silver comes the first book of the Scholomance trilogy, the story of an unwilling dark sorceress who is destined to rewrite the rules of magic.FINALIST FOR THE LODESTAR AWARD • “The dark school of magic I’ve been waiting for.”—Katherine Arden, author of the Winternight TrilogyI decided that Orion Lake needed to die after the second time he saved my life.Everyone loves Orion Lake. Everyone else, that is. Far as I’m concerned, he can keep his flashy combat magic to himself. I’m not joining his pack of adoring fans.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. Just give me a chance and I’ll level mountains and kill untold millions, make myself the dark queen of the world.At least, that’s what the world expects. 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. Sometimes I think they want me to turn into the evil witch they assume I am. The school certainly does.But the Scholomance isn’t getting what it wants from me. And neither is Orion Lake. 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.Although I’m giving serious consideration to just one.With flawless mastery, Naomi Novik creates a school bursting with magic like you’ve never seen before, and 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.The magic of the Scholomance trilogy continues in The Last Graduate and The Golden Enclaves“The can’t-miss fantasy of fall 2020, a brutal coming-of-power story steeped in the aesthetics of dark academia. . . . A Deadly Education will cement Naomi Novik’s place as one of the greatest and most versatile fantasy writers of our time.”—BookPage (starred review)“A must-read . . . Novik puts a refreshingly dark, adult spin on the magical boarding school. . . . Readers will delight in the push-and-pull of El and Orion’s relationship, the fantastically detailed world, the clever magic system, and the matter-of-fact diversity of the student body.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

This book is so WHOLESOME.<br/>When going into it, I only excepted a wizard school without teachers in which most of the pupils die.<br/>But it's so much more.<br/>First of all, the protagonist El feels so very original. She's this prophesized evil witch that will devour the world, but in truth she's just a sixteen-year old girl that feels isolated and doesn't want to hurt anyone, even though she's rude on regular terms. It was so much fun reading her perspective! She has the best humor ever.<br/>The Scholomance is a fun and original construct itself, and I am excited to learn more about it in the following books. Also, it's such a cruel fact that the only solution the adults could think of to save most of their children is to build a school in which most children die!<br/>This is one of the books that you can't put down, and you instantly have to know what will happen in the next chapter. It's also one of those books that you desperately need the sequel to after having read the last sentence, and I am still debating it because the third and final book will only be published in September, which is an eternity away!<br/>Please read this novel if you enjoy magic and rude-but-fun-and-not-cringe protagonists and lots of monsters. Thank you!
