From the leading talent in fantasy, a magical coming-of-age trilogy with a female anti-hero - a darker more intelligent Harry Potter for adults.
Naomi Novik is the Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author of A Deadly Education and The Last Graduate, the award-winning novels Uprooted and Spinning Silver, and the Temeraire series. She is a founder of the Organization for Transformative Works and the Archive of Our Own. She lives in New York City with her family and six computers.
The Scholomance is the dark school of magic I’ve been waiting for,
and its wise, witty, and monstrous heroine is one I'd happily
follow anywhere—even into a school full of monsters.
*KATHERINE ARDEN*
Sharp as a fang, funny and ruthless, this still manages to conjure
up powerful observations about friendship, exclusion and
privilege.
*DAILY MAIL*
From the author of Spinning Silver comes a story set in an austere
school for the magically gifted which houses unfathomable secrets
and dark challenges for its students. Weaving together suspicion,
danger, sorcery, monsters and humour, A Deadly Education is a
magnificent return to form from Naomi Novik.
*WATERSTONES*
Eyeball-meltingly brilliant. Novik is, quite simply, a genius.
*KIERSTEN WHITE*
A Deadly Education is a nightmare from which I never wished to
wake. Savage, inventive, and soulful, Novik grasps the totems of
childhood that linger in your mind-schools of magic, curses,
cutthroat classmates, monsters-only to twist them into a grand new
tale that'll make you believe in magic again.
A dark, smart, delicious tale, set to redefine everything you think
you know about schools for magic. A Deadly Education is dangerously
addictive.
*KIRAN MILLWOOD HARGRAVE*
At Scholomance, monsters are everywhere and the breakfast might
kill you, but the wonderful cast of characters will grab a hold of
your heart and you’ll never want to leave this deadly school. Naomi
Novik skillfully combines sharp humor with layers of imagination to
build a fantasy that delights on every level. I loved this
brilliant book.
*STEPHANIE GARBER*
Hilarious and wild! Take any fictional magic school, make it as
over-the-top dangerous as possible, and populate it with a bunch of
snarky teenagers; the result is pure batshit fun.
*N. K. JEMISIN*
Sharp, witty, and darkly effervescent, A Deadly Education is Naomi
Novik’s fresh take on the concept of the magic school. One of my
favorite reads of the year.
*RORY POWER*
A Deadly Education plunges into the delightfully brutal world of
the Scholomance, a magic school unlike anything you've ever seen
before, and introduces El, a practical, ruthless heroine with the
guts and wits to survive it. Naomi Novik has crafted a transcendent
academic fantasy that pulls no punches.
*EMILY SKRUTSKIE*
Naomi Novik reinvents the magical school story by working a
strange, funny, wild, dark magic all her own. This is not just your
next great read - it's your new obsession.
*GWENDA BOND*
Novik is a master at setting up a plot to unfurl in a series of
staggeringly well-thought out bursts of action, weaving together
into an imaginative climax.
A Deadly Education is a book that lives up to its gob smacker of an
opening sentence and follows right through to its shocker of an
ending that promises more to come. Naomi Novik is relentlessly
innovative and entertaining
*TERRY BROOKS*
Fresh, smart, and delightfully unique. It's Hogwarts with higher
stakes and sharper claws, and I absolutely loved it.
*ALIX E. HARROW*
The author's most entertaining novel to date
*SFX*
Fun and beautifully written
*Metro*
A story that never stops moving while always remaining focused on
developing the characters of both the people and the school
itself
*Locus Magazine*
