A Deadly Education:
Review
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. — KATHERINE ARDEN
From the author of Spinning Silver comes a story set in an austere school for the magically gifted which houses unfathomable secrets and dark challenges for its students. Weaving together suspicion, danger, sorcery, monsters and humour, A Deadly Education is a magnificent return to form from Naomi Novik., WATERSTONES
Eyeball-meltingly brilliant. Novik is, quite simply, a genius. — KIERSTEN WHITE
A Deadly Education is a nightmare from which I never wished to wake. Savage, inventive, and soulful, Novik grasps the totems of childhood that linger in your mind-schools of magic, curses, cutthroat classmates, monsters-only to twist them into a grand new tale that’ll make you believe in magic again.
A dark, smart, delicious tale, set to redefine everything you think you know about schools for magic. A Deadly Education is dangerously addictive., KIRAN MILLWOOD HARGRAVE
At Scholomance, monsters are everywhere and the breakfast might kill you, but the wonderful cast of characters will grab a hold of your heart and you’ll never want to leave this deadly school. Naomi Novik skillfully combines sharp humor with layers of imagination to build a fantasy that delights on every level. I loved this brilliant book. — STEPHANIE GARBER
Hilarious and wild! Take any fictional magic school, make it as over-the-top dangerous as possible, and populate it with a bunch of snarky teenagers; the result is pure batshit fun. — N. K. JEMISIN
Sharp, witty, and darkly effervescent, A Deadly Education is Naomi Novik’s fresh take on the concept of the magic school. One of my favorite reads of the year. — RORY POWER
A Deadly Education plunges into the delightfully brutal world of the Scholomance, a magic school unlike anything you’ve ever seen before, and introduces El, a practical, ruthless heroine with the guts and wits to survive it. Naomi Novik has crafted a transcendent academic fantasy that pulls no punches., EMILY SKRUTSKIE
Naomi Novik reinvents the magical school story by working a strange, funny, wild, dark magic all her own. This is not just your next great read – it’s your new obsession., GWENDA BOND
