Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. A good conclusion to the series. ( ) A decent ending to the trilogy but not quite as good as the first two books. While they were neatly confined between the walls of Scholomance, this one took on the entire world. And that gave it more of a rushed feeling, lacking the depth of the first two. And quite honestly, I wasn't happy that not everyone got what they deserved to have coming to them. Overall, the trilogy was good, but I would have liked this final volume to have the same scale as the first two or have been expanded to make this a quartology. Kind of like the last book(s) of Harry Potter, most of the story in this third book takes place outside of the school. If you take a glimpse at the chapter titles, you can see how El trots around the world to do what she needs to do. In this sense, the third book is more formulaic than the first two in the series, with less deviation from expectations. Ending spoilers: It teaches people that your happy ending might not look the way you originally imagined, but it is also not that bad either. no reviews | add a review

Saving the world is a test no school of magic can prepare you for in the triumphant conclusion to the New York Times bestselling trilogy that began with A Deadly Education and The Last Graduate. The one thing you never talk about while you're in the Scholomance is what you'll do when you get out. Not even the richest enclaver would tempt fate that way. But it's all we dream about: the hideously slim chance we'll survive to make it out the gates and improbably find ourselves with a life ahead of us, a life outside the Scholomance halls. And now the impossible dream has come true. I'm out, we're all out--and I didn't even have to turn into a monstrous dark witch to make it happen. So much for my great-grandmother's prophecy of doom and destruction. I didn't kill enclavers, I saved them. Me and Orion and our allies. Our graduation plan worked to perfection: We saved everyone and made the world safe for all wizards and brought peace and harmony to all the enclaves everywhere. Ha, only joking! Actually, it's gone all wrong. Someone else has picked up the project of destroying enclaves in my stead, and probably everyone we saved is about to get killed in the brewing enclave war. And the first thing I've got to do now, having miraculously gotten out of the Scholomance, is turn straight around and find a way back inches. No library descriptions found. |
