The Golden Enclaves

Novik deliciously undoes expectations about magic schools, destined heroes, and family legacies. A gorgeous book about monsters and monstrousness, chockablock with action, cleverness, and wit.

Holly Black

Truly one of the best fantasy series out there right now, and it's not close.

Culturess

The Scholomance is the dark school of magic I've been waiting for, and its wise, witty, and monstrous heroine is one I'd happily follow anywhere - even into a school full of monsters.

Katherine Arden

A dark, smart, delicious tale, set to redefine everything you think you know about schools for magic. A Deadly Education is dangerously addictive.

Kiran Millwood Hargrave

Naomi Novik skilfully combines sharp humour with layers of imagination to build a fantasy that delights on every level. I adored this brilliant book.

Stephanie Garber

A nightmare from which I never wished to wake: savage, inventive, and soulful.

Pierce Brown

Constant peril, a fresh magic system, and a deeper discussion of how educational inequality currently functions than I ever expected to see in fantasy.

Hank Green

Novik dazzles in her brilliant and compulsively readable final Scholomance fantasy.

Publisher's Weekly

A rich, fully satisfying conclusion that makes the whole trilogy stronger and more meaningful.
