My review: ?????
A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik is set in a school for those with magic, called Scholomance. Except there are things that are forever trying to kill you.
El is our protagonist, and is rude, grumpy and antagonistic, and on the first page, is planning to murder someone who has just saved her life.
I really enjoyed the twists and turns, and learning about Scholomance, how the students survive it, and about the world! As this is ‘Lesson 1 of the Scholomance’, I’m looking forward to the next book!
I’m a big Naomi Novik fan, and have been reading her books since the days of Temeraire, a dragon in the military during the Napoleonic War.
Her recent books, Uprooted and Spinning Silver have both been good plays on fairy tales, and so when I saw this book, I was excited!
A Deadly Education was published on 29th September 2020, and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and your local independent bookshop.
You can follow Naomi Novik on her website, Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
I was given this book in return for an unbiased review, and so my thanks to NetGalley and to Random House.
