Synopsis

#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.

Goodreads review by Meag on September 22, 2024

Firstly, all of these likes are from before this book was even released. - Okay, I'm super late, but I finally got the time to read this book, and it was okay! The first two books felt like they had much higher stakes, and I got so used to the world inside the Scholomance that it felt odd when they got......more

Well…I’ve finished it and I have A LOT of thoughts. Will try to piece them together for a proper review soon. *** I know nothing about this book, but I am DESPERATE for it thanks to THAT ending. How dare we get left on such a cliffhanger?!?......more

Goodreads review by myo on December 17, 2022

all of my 2022 anticipated releases being terrible is my villain origin story 😭😭 this read like a second book in a sequel, i hate when characters are split up for majority of the book. i just feel like the series should’ve been a duology because this was… certainly a choice. Orion was barely in this......more

Goodreads review by Shima on August 05, 2024

Pre-publication: I'm gonna keep the tradition going, read The Last Graduate today, and somehow come to terms with having to wait a whole year for the next book. Because I'm just mean like that. Update: I just finished reading The Last Graduate. Condoning myself to a whole year of waiting was crueller......more
