Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

In the start of an all-new series, the best-selling author of Uprooted and Spinning Silver introduces you to a dangerous school for the magically gifted where failure means certain death - until one girl begins to rewrite its rules.

Enter a school of magic unlike any you have ever encountered.

There are no teachers, no holidays, friendships are purely strategic and the odds of survival are never equal.

Once you’re inside, there are only two ways out: you graduate or you die.

El Higgins is uniquely prepared for the school’s many dangers. She may be without allies, but she possesses a dark power strong enough to level mountains and wipe out untold millions - never mind easily destroy the countless monsters that prowl the school. 

Except, she might accidentally kill all the other students, too. So El is trying her hardest not to use it...that is, unless she has no other choice. 

Wry, witty, endlessly inventive and mordantly funny - yet with a true depth and fierce justice at its heart - this enchanting novel reminds us that there are far more important things than mere survival.

What a great read!!

I am always looking for fantasy books with magical school setting. As soon as I saw this book release, I knew I had to read it. And I loved listening to the audio book. Naomi Novik is fast becoming one of my favourite authors! The narrator was fantastic as well!
It felt like being back at Hogwarts but with the school reminding me of the assassin's academy in Nevernight.
I would have loved to know more about the magic system. Reminded me a but of the magic system in Eragon. Haha. it seems to have a mix of a lot of books I love. The delightfully restrained sprinkle of pop culture references totally got me. I love Kylo btw!
And the end comes with such a mysterious warning. I can't wait for the next book!

Naomi Novik a genius at magical World Building

I love these books and am a little sour that there's no more than the 3 in this series. Beautiful concept and now I want to re-listen-read these for the third time because it's that awesome.
