A review by wolfmouse
A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik
5.0
Okay, wow, I loved this book.
The protagonist is so vividly realized. El leaps from the pages (and the narration on the audiobook is top-notch). It helps ofc that I have a soft spot for socially isolated characters, but who’s counting?
It’s been a while since a good fantasy trilogy grabbed me so fiercely from the get-go. The setting of the Scholomance is exciting and dreadful, and I’m eager to learn more about the rules of magic and the universe set up in this first book.
Honorable mention to the excellent enemies-to-friends-to-lovers content.
