Book Review: The Last Graduate (The Schoolmance #2) by Naomi Novik

Hi Cara,

Today on my blog I am reviewing The Last Graduate by Naomi Novik. The second book in the Schoolmance series comes out on 28th September 2021.

 

Synopsis

At the Scholomance, El, Orion, and the other students are faced with their final year—and the looming specter of graduation, a deadly ritual that leaves few students alive in its wake. El is determined that her chosen group will survive, but it is a prospect that is looking harder by the day as the savagery of the school ramps up. Until El realizes that sometimes winning the game means throwing out all the rules . . .

Opinion

The Last Graduate is another great book that shows the dangers of the magical world.

El has grown in The Last Graduate physical, emotional and magically. But she hasn't lost her snark which is one of my favourite aspects of her personality. Also, I like that she never knows what she was going to do next.

 

I like that The Graduate has a different feel to A Deadly Education as El and the gang deal with serving graduation and Schoolmance every changing magical mind. 

At the end of the book, there is an epic battle and a moment at the ned that left me gasping.

The Last Graduate has a great cast of characters, an interesting magic structure and an entertaining story. 

My Rating for The Last Graduate is 4.8 out of 5.
