"A Deadly Education
is set at Scholomance, a school for the magically gifted where failure
means certain death (for real) — until one girl, El, begins to unlock
its many secrets.
There are no teachers, no holidays, and no
friendships, save strategic ones. Survival is more important than any
letter grade, for the school won’t allow its students to leave until
they graduate… or die! The rules are deceptively simple: Don’t walk the
halls alone. And beware of the monsters who lurk everywhere.
El
is uniquely prepared for the school’s dangers. She may be without
allies, but she possesses a dark power strong enough to level mountains
and wipe out millions. It would be easy enough for El to defeat the
monsters that prowl the school. The problem? Her powerful dark magic
might also kill all the other students."--Amazon blurb
Naomi Novik is one of my favorite contemporary fantasy authors. This storyline feels fresh and is edgy and interesting. Novik did not disappoint with her writing. This coming-of-age and finding-your-powers story is great.
