New York Times Best Seller

From the author of Uprooted and Spinning Silver comes the first book of the Scholomance trilogy, the story of an unwilling dark sorceress who is destined to rewrite the rules of magic.

Finalist for the Lodestar Award

“The dark school of magic I’ve been waiting for.” (Katherine Arden, author of the Winternight Trilogy)

I decided that Orion Lake needed to die after the second time he saved my life.

Everyone loves Orion Lake. Everyone else, that is. Far as I’m concerned, he can keep his flashy combat magic to himself. I’m not joining his pack of adoring fans.

I don’t need help surviving the Scholomance, even if they do. Forget the hordes of monsters and cursed artifacts; I’m probably the most dangerous thing in the place. Just give me a chance and I’ll level mountains and kill untold millions, making myself the dark queen of the world.

At least, that’s what the world expects. Most of the other students in here would be delighted if Orion killed me, like one more evil thing that’s crawled out of the drains. Sometimes I think they want me to turn into the evil witch they assume I am. The school certainly does.

But the Scholomance isn’t getting what it wants from me. And neither is Orion Lake. I may not be anyone’s idea of the shining hero, but I’m going to make it out of this place alive, and I’m not going to slaughter thousands to do it, either.

Although I’m giving serious consideration to just one.

With flawless mastery, Naomi Novik creates a school bursting with magic like you’ve never seen before, and a heroine for the ages - a character so sharply realized and so richly nuanced that she will live on in hearts and minds for generations to come.

The magic of the Scholomance trilogy continues in The Last Graduate.

“The can’t-miss fantasy of fall 2020, a brutal coming-of-power story steeped in the aesthetics of dark academia. ... A Deadly Education will cement Naomi Novik’s place as one of the greatest and most versatile fantasy writers of our time.” (BookPage, starred review)

“A must-read ... Novik puts a refreshingly dark, adult spin on the magical boarding school. ... Readers will delight in the push-and-pull of El and Orion’s relationship, the fantastically detailed world, the clever magic system, and the matter-of-fact diversity of the student body.” (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

Reseñas de la Crítica

“I loved this book. It’s such a nail-biter, it’s funny, it’s thought-provoking, and it’s such a good read.”—BuzzFeed

“Novik deliciously undoes expectations about magic schools, destined heroes, and family legacies. A gorgeous book about monsters and monstrousness, chockablock with action, cleverness, and wit.”—Holly Black, #1 New York Times bestselling author

“Hilarious and wild! Take any fictional magic school, make it as over-the-top dangerous as possible, and populate it with a bunch of snarky teenagers; the result is pure batshit fun.”—N. K. Jemisin, New York Times bestselling author of The City We Became

Featured Article: Get Lost in the Drama and Intrigue of Dark Academia

The dark academia subgenre encompasses everything from murder mysteries to horror and fantasy, so there's a little something in it for everyone. From angst-filled fiction to brooding novels, we've rounded up the very best listens.

This is a sassy and unlikeable but lovable heroine who is in a school that will save her, or kill her. There are a lot of details and descriptions that go nowhere, but the narrator is fun so who cares? I listened to this with great pleasure. Something in the background while one knits or puts a puzzle together.

Lovely....meandering, but lovely

The overall story is not bad. I am hoping there is a second book. There should be a bit more magic use. But when the author starts character dialogue, it seems very short lived though most of the book. Then it almost cuts off for us to hear the ranting thoughts of a 16 year old girl. That for me a parent of teens gives me insight into the insecurities of teen girls. But it also lets me know this is why some girls can chatter on into endless rants. Because as soon as I start seeing good dialogue between each character. Our insecure Galadriel goes into a mental thought rant for entire chapters. This gets better towards the end. But overall not bad. Not really a tantalizing action packed story. Some kind of weird school girl coming of age pretty women romance with no romance love but not love magic tale. It’s weird, but not bad listening.

A deadly rant. But worth it.

While I wasn't a big fan of the narrator most of the book, she comes off a little monotonous and only does one voice for most of it, the story is extremely captivating. I won't provide a huge summary because there are plenty in the reviews but I will discuss the most interesting and well-written parts (spoiler alert)

1. Fight Scenes - the specific scene where El fights a mawmouth stayed in my mind for several chapters after it happened. Novik's descriptions of the beast were terrifying and detailed. It made me feel as though I was also inside a bloody, deteriorating monster that eats people over and over. The negative impact it had on her afterward made it feel all the more real.

2. Relationships in the Book - Orion & El's friendship was not static, which I appreciated. It was always changing and sometimes even a little flirty. Their interactions made you understand what a hormonal teenager fighting for survival in a deadly magical school would likely be feeling. I am pleased that there wasn't some immediate lust/attraction between the two because I feel like it wouldn't fit El's character. Also, I loved how El was kind of an outcast but people grew to trust her because it developed her character really well.

3. Good World Building - Although I love Harry Potter, it never made sense to me how wizards could kinda use as much magic as they pleased to some extent. In this world, magic can only be produced if it stems from some kind of magical lifeforce/energy such as mana OR malia. Mana = magical energy gained through exertion like exercise or crocheting, etc. Malia = killing something to steal its lifeforce and use as magical energy. This made so much more sense to me and I really enjoyed how Novik explained the different creatures and how the school works. While I feel like there is more that needs to be explained in this book, I assume it gets covered in the next two books (which I have yet to read!).

This book is NOT the same as Harry Potter if that's what you think. It is a much darker and sadder version but is just as good if you like the specific things that make Harry Potter interesting: stepping into a magical world with spells, creatures, school drama, grade hierarchies, epic fight scenes, etc. I can't wait to read the next two books.

Great World-Building & Magic Thrill

I loved this book:) was very interesting. Seemed like a twist on Harry Potter but w/ a more adult theme. Only problem was the question in the end. I hope there’s a second book!!

Awesome book!

I love this book so much, so much. It’s that kind of book that makes you relieved there is a second one. Then I know I’m reviewing this one, but it just keeps getting better. This is my new FAVORITE book. I love romance, but I was beginning to get really burnt listening to romance books without plot. This book series has the perfect smattering of romance with a plot that just sucks you in

Loved!

I automatically click “pre-order” on anything Naomi Novik- and she does not disappoint! Just when you think there couldn’t be another version of a magic school, we get a great anti-hogwarts and a fantastic evil mage protagonist. Can’t wait for the next one.

While it is technically academy novel, don’t let that put you off. This book is great fun. The characters are original, the magic system well thought out, and it is face paced.
The voice actor did an AMAZING job. Do yourself a favor and give this book a try.

Such a great book.
