![]() ![]() The school divvies out the classes and assignments. There are no teachers in the Scholomance, or adults of any kind. Imagine Hogwarts, but where everything wants to eat you. The Scholomance, a school for magical children, is fascinating. ![]() Whatever my disconnect was with Uprooted, Novik’s a gifted author with a talent for immersive writing, and I’m already counting down the days until The Graduate, the second book in the Scholomance series, is published. I took to this book immediately and loved every single page. I am excited to report that my fears proved themselves to be unfounded. So you can see why I’d be scared to try A Deadly Education, right? I have a huge weakness for magic schools, but I wondered if maybe Novik’s writing just wasn’t for me. It should have become an instant new favorite for me. Rich setting, interesting magic, a fairytale retelling that flips its source material on its head. On paper, it should have absolutely worked for me. And I desperately wanted to share in that adoration, I really did. ![]() While I didn’t loathe it with every fiber of my being like my co-blogger Petrik did, I very much did not understand the love for that book. The reason for that fear? In a word: Uprooted. And yet I put of reading it for months after its release, because I was scared. The synopsis for A Deadly Education filled me with so much excitement when I first read it a year ago. ![]()
