Published Reviews

Booklist Review: "Award-winner Novik's latest (after Spinning Silver, 2018) is the start of a fabulous dark and monstrous trilogy. The Scholomance is a typical high school with classes, cliques, competition, angst-driven teenagers--and monsters infesting the walls. The students either learn magic or die trying, and a high percentage never make it to senior year, much less survive the graduation ceremony. El (short for Galadriel) has no friends, never has and never will, not with her affinity for mass destruction. She hopes to eventually make allies who appreciate a powerful witch and will help her join an enclave, one of the large congregations that lives and works together, sharing power to ensure group safety and success. Unfortunately, El has attracted the attention of the school's wildly popular champion, who has been saving students by the dozens for the last three years, and who thinks she is an evil-sorceress serial killer. El could care less; she just wants him to stay away because his heroic antics have upset the magical balance, and retribution is deadly and overdue. The final chapter in this fast-paced fantasy introduces new characters and a surprising conflict for the next book in the series, which offers a fresh take on the magic school trope."

Publisher's Weekly Review: "Novik (Spinning Silver) puts a refreshingly dark, adult spin on the magical boarding school setting of the spellbinding first fantasy in her Scholomance trilogy. The students of Scholomance, a boarding school for sorcerers, must weather survival-of-the-fittest trials, fighting off the Lovecraftian monsters known as maleficaria (or "mals") that routinely break in to eat students. Graduation is the greatest challenge of all, and requires the students to fight their way through the sea of mals clustered outside the building. Dark sorceress El (short for Galadriel) has a plan for how she'll make it through the gates alive next year: she'll learn to control her affinity for destruction, make allies by impressing other students with her abilities, and stockpile magical energy. But monster-slayer Orion Lake throws a wrench in the works. He keeps saving El before she can display her talents, and has killed so many lesser mals that the ones left are huge--and hungry. El and Orion must strike up an alliance to save themselves and their schoolmates from monstrous destruction. 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. This is a must-read for fantasy fans. (Oct.)"
