Readers will delight in the push-and-pull of El and Orion\'s relationship, the fantastically detailed world, the clever magic system, and the matter-of-fact diversity of the student body." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) About author(s): Naomi Novik is the acclaimed author of the Temeraire series and the award-winning novels Uprooted and Spinning Silver . . . .
Novik puts a refreshingly dark, adult spin on the magical boarding school. . .
A Deadly Education will cement Naomi Novik \'s place as one of the greatest and most versatile fantasy writers of our time." -- BookPage (starred review) "A must-read . . . .
Praise for Deadly Education "The can\'t-miss fantasy of fall 2020, a brutal coming-of-power story steeped in the aesthetics of dark academia.
With flawless mastery, Naomi Novik creates a school bursting with magic like you\'ve never seen before, and a heroine for the ages--a character so sharply realized and so richly nuanced that she will live on in hearts and minds for generations to come.
Although I\'m giving serious consideration to just one .
I may not be anyone\'s idea of the shining hero, but I\'m going to make it out of this place alive, and I\'m not going to slaughter thousands to do it, either.
And neither is Orion Lake.
But the Scholomance isn\'t getting what it wants from me.
The school certainly does.
Sometimes I think they want me to turn into the evil witch they assume I am.
Most of the other students in here would be delighted if Orion killed me like one more evil thing that\'s crawled out of the drains.
At least, that\'s what the world expects.
Just give me a chance and I\'ll level mountains and kill untold millions, make myself the dark queen of the world.
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.
Everyone else, that is.
Everyone loves Orion Lake.
FINALIST FOR THE LODESTAR AWARD - "The dark school of magic I\'ve been waiting for." Katherine Arden, author of Winternight Trilogy I decided that Orion Lake needed to die after the second time he saved my life.
