Publisher's summary

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • 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.

FINALIST FOR THE HUGO AWARD • ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Paste, Publishers Weekly

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 in.

So good!

I enjoyed this so much! It was a wonderful ending to the story! I was just annoyed that there was a very random lesbian relationship that felt out of place and confusing as she just lost her other love interest so I wouldn’t think she would be jumping in so incredibly suddenly. It felt jarring. But I really enjoyed this final installment to this series.

More than just a satisfying ending.

This final installment does that magical things good endings do. It brings the whole story into a new focus making you think back and aha! That's why...! Character continue to progress in the very real and natural way that Naomi Novik brings to all her books. The ending has just enough surprise to be thrilling and just enough predictability to be satisfying.

Alisha Dadia has gift for bringing genuine emotion to inner dialog. She speaks in a way that makes even the musing of a conflicted mind gripping.

loved it!

The series is so good. Had to rewind few times as these aren’t books you can listen to lightly, but always enjoyable. Was sad for this one to come to an end. Hoping there is another to follow. Can’t reccomend enough.

dark but interesting

at first I wasn't sure I'd like it as students dying a lot, but now that I've finished all 3 books it's understandable. I grew to really enjoy the reader. might have to try another one.

Wonderful ending to an excellent series.

To be honest, the first book in this series dragged for thr first half of it. Too much telling and not showing -- the exposition style felt like readimg a long essay. The second book is where it actually picked up for me. This third book is amazing. The surprises and twists were great.
I also thoroughly enjoyed the narration.
