A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik

3.0

---

A Deadly Education (The Scholomance #1) by Naomi Novik was a bit more of a dark comedy than I was expecting it to be based on the description. I also felt somewhat out of the loop while reading. Sometimes that works when dropping someone right into the world, but sometimes it just doesn't quite land with it as well as it should and I feel like that's what happened here. Plus, I don't know if it was just me, but El was just more grating than anything. Anyway, all this said, I think I might try book two since it has so much potential.
