Do I think this book had some epic end? I don’t know-I think it was epic, in its own right, but it wasn’t some crazy battle to the end or anything.

The magic of the Scholomance trilogy continues in The Last Graduate.

Forget the hordes of monsters and cursed artifacts, I’m probably the most dangerous thing in the place.
I don’t need help surviving the Scholomance, even if they do. I’m not joining his pack of adoring fans. Far as I’m concerned, he can keep his flashy combat magic to himself. I decided that Orion Lake needed to die after the second time he saved my life.Įveryone loves Orion Lake. “The dark school of magic I’ve been waiting for.”-Katherine Arden, author of Winternight Trilogy.From the author of Uprooted and Spinning Silver comes the first book of the Scholomance trilogy, the story of an unwilling dark sorceress who is destined to rewrite the rules of magic.
