Saving the world is a test no school of magic can prepare you for in the triumphant conclusion to the Sunday Times bestselling trilogy that began with A Deadly Education and The Last Graduate.

The one thing you never talk about while you're in the Scholomance is what you'll do when you get out - not even the richest enclaver would tempt fate that way.

But that impossible dream has somehow come true for El and her classmates. And what's more, she didn't even have to become the monstrous dark witch she's prophesised to become to make it happen. Instead of killing enclavers, she saved them, and now the world is safe for all wizards. Peace and harmony have enveloped all the enclaves of the world.

Just kidding.

Instead, someone else has picked up the project of destroying enclaves in El's stead, and everyone she saved is at risk again with a full-scale enclave war on the horizon. And so, the first thing El needs to do after miraculously escaping the Scholomance, is to turn straight around and find a way back in.

Critic Reviews

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.
Truly one of the best fantasy series out there right now, and it's not close.
The Scholomance is the dark school of magic I've been waiting for, and its wise, witty, and monstrous heroine is one I'd happily follow anywhere - even into a school full of monsters.
A dark, smart, delicious tale, set to redefine everything you think you know about schools for magic. A Deadly Education is dangerously addictive.
Naomi Novik skilfully combines sharp humour with layers of imagination to build a fantasy that delights on every level. I adored this brilliant book.
A nightmare from which I never wished to wake: savage, inventive, and soulful.
Constant peril, a fresh magic system, and a deeper discussion of how educational inequality currently functions than I ever expected to see in fantasy.
Novik dazzles in her brilliant and compulsively readable final Scholomance fantasy.
A rich, fully satisfying conclusion that makes the whole trilogy stronger and more meaningful.

I think the book and the story was amazing, but it was SO annoying that the probably Indian origin narrator didn't get most the Indian word pronunciations correct. Aadya, Marathi... blegh, that was pretty antithetical to the relativel diversity in the book itself.

weird indian pronunciations

It is a great ending to an awesome series, fun to read. Lots of things look similar to other fantasy stories, like hogwards from Harry Potter, Deepti’s power being something like Dr Strange, but the story is gr8. Keeps you up to finish and reach the ending, even the last chapter is not the boring one and the most obvious conclusion. Would recommend it to everyone and especially the young adults for whom it has been written

The reading it also good, I loved the use of various accents based on the origins of the person and voice modulation for their age too.
Overall a gr8 experience

I thoroughly enjoyed the performance of the narrator and the story ended in a different manner than i anticipated but it was a great finale to the series regardless!
However, the audiobook itself glitched quite a bit. It would stop at random points and repeat certain words a few times like it's stuck before continuing etc. I hope the team works towards fixing this, so future listeners won't face these issues

Great story and performance but glitchy audio
