The Last Graduate by Naomi Novik

4.0

adventurous dark tense fast-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

It started a bit slow and I was just starting to get a little annoyed with the overly descriptive writing that seemed to explain things we already knew in way too much detail, when the story really started to pick up. I quite enjoyed El's development in this book, even though I don't care all that much about the romance (yet?). I wish the magic system was a bit clearer to follow, even with all the over-explaining in the first book, I still feel it's a bit hard to grasp why certain things work a certain way. But I thoroughly enjoyed myself with this one and can't wait to find out what happens next!
