This was a strong way to end the series, even if I didn't fully understand what was happening 70% of the time. I think the series as a whole could have been shortened to two, slightly longer books and it would have made more sense.
In "The Golden Enclaves", El Higgins grapples with the aftermath of her escape from the deadly Scholomance, determined to rescue her loved ones and eradicate the enclaves that uphold the oppressive magical status quo. As she navigates complex alliances and confronts dark secrets within the magical community, El discovers her own surprising powers and the true nature of her destiny. The novel blends action with deep emotional stakes, concluding the Scholomance trilogy on a note of profound transformation and hope.
