The Last Graduate wasn't as good as A Deadly Education, but it's a good continuation of the story. Both books in the series have kept me guessing, not trusting anything completely. I can't wait until the third book in the series comes out. ( ) Still snarky, still fun. The Last Graduate continues on the same dark humor note as A Deadly Education. And right from the beginning, we can see that El will have a lot to deal with this year. Luckily, she is not alone anymore. If I said that in the first book, I had trouble seeing how many students are actually in school. This book definitely fixed that problem. As the graduation nears, the alliances are being finalized and El, the past loner, is forced to interact with more and more people. Some she likes, some she can barely stand, some can barely stand her. With so many new characters, El's and Orion's interactions get pushed into the background. I wish we have gotten more of their relationship right from the beginning, but later we get enough to make up for it. There is also more focus on learning about the school itself. There is a lot of new mystery and discoveries. Some of those are quite game-changing. This book probably even more than the first one deals with morality. Should you be selfish or risk your life for others? Especially in this place where selfishness became the norm. And one thing is thinking about how someone will behave in a crisis, but how will they actually behave? And are certain actions good if they have worse consequences? For a YA, this book delves quite deep into that area. Also, can I say how glad I am that I finished just a few days before the third book comes out? Because I have no clue how I would survive waiting one year after reading that ending. The second book might not have been as great as the first but still a 5* material. It did have a bit slower start, in my opinion, but the end really made up for it. Free copy received in exchange for an honest review. no reviews | add a review
