[a:Naomi Novik|8730|Naomi Novik|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1206646770p2/8730.jpg]'s [b:The Scholomance Series|126515054|The Scholomance Series 3 Books Set (Hardcover)|Naomi Novik|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1694882490l/126515054._SX50_.jpg|147848164] is a phenomenal read, with fantastic world-building, realistic and interesting characters, and a plot that just doesn't stop. This is the last book of the trilogy, and the action starts sentence one and doesn't stop. You can't put this one down. Everything that happens in this book factors into the next event, which you still won't be able to predict but which will make perfect sense once it happens. I feel like I outgrew Harry Potter and into this. While there are a few superficial similarities, this series far surpasses that one in quality and originality. You'll love everything about this series, and this, the final book is the pinnacle of the trilogy.

4.5 stars. not quite as good as the other two, but still my favorite fantasy series so far. the writing isn’t anything super special, although it is funny, but the world is perfect escapism and puts me in a good mood. i will come back and reread very soon i think, i’ll miss el and orion.

Stellar ending to the trilogy. The major plot twist/reveal was so well done, I read it and suddenly EVERYTHING from the previous books made sense. Novik's characters leap off the page and into your heart. El, as someone who is told by the universe that they're destined to be evil and bring destruction to the world and they say no, I will do right and keep saying it over and over again, and her steadfast friends will stay with me for a long, long time.

Wow, this was the finale I was hoping for.
There are a lot of things I didn't see coming, and I was dying to know what was going to happen. It was a real page turner. Sometimes I had to stop reading and stare into the void (pun intended) and take a breather because of all the twists and turns.
After the second book I had a lot of questions and, in my opinion, this third book answered all of them in a fantastic way! It didn't feel info-dumpy, it felt fluid and natural. Many times I understood things at the same moment as El, and I loved that! It was so fun!
If you have read the first two books, this finale will not disappoint. (If you haven't read them, you should!)
I died. Not literally, but figuratively. It was SO good!
