Failure means certain death at the Scholomance, Naomi Novik's dangerous school for the magically gifted. The author of Uprooted and Spinning Silver opened the trilogy with A Deadly Education, a Sunday Times bestseller and Lodestar Award finalist rated 8.0 here, and the catalog carries its sequel The Last Graduate, where the specter of graduation looms over everything and the rating jumps to 9.0.
Read in order, beginning with A Deadly Education; the sequel builds toward a climactic graduation-day battle and depends on the ground the first book lays. The trajectory is the story here: this is a series that gets stronger as it narrows its focus, and the second volume's 9.0 makes the case that the lethal-school premise pays off best once the stakes stop being theoretical.
The The Scholomance franchise spans 2 books in the CrossBinge catalog.
