Can El, Orion, and their classmates make it through, and how may will be killed? Suspense, thrills and some of the most frightening monsters make for an addictive read. With alliances to form, spells to practice and dummy runs to practice in preparation for making their way though the Graduation Hall, but none of this guarantees their survival, with only a quater expected to make it out of the schools gates and back to their families. With no school holidays at the school, EL and her friends find themselves straight into their senior year, and preparing to facing the Graduation Hall, with all it’s mals, the monsters from your worst nightmares. But as the spectre of graduation looms - the deadly final ritual that leaves few students alive - if she and her allies are to make it out, El will need to realise that sometimes winning the game means throwing out all the rules.Ī few weeks ago I reviewed the first book in Naomi Novik’s Scholomance duology, A Deadly Education and I’m so happy I didn’t have to wait too long to read The Last Graduate, after being left on a cliffhanger. Īs the savagery of the school ramps up, El is determined that she will not give in not to the mals, not to fate, and especially not to the Scholomance.

The dark school of magic has always done its best to devour its students, but now that El has reached her final year - and somehow won herself a handful of allies along the way - it’s suddenly developed a very particular craving.
