#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.

Featured Article: Best of the Year—The 9 Best YA Listens of 2022


Us editors of YA feel we hold a secret: This genre is the best of us. We love our list this year, filled with female friendship and love, boys and girls facing world-ending challenges, and teens finding belonging in othering spaces—overcoming bias against race, gender, and orientation along the way. We hope these affirming and empowering tales allow those of us growing up—or ever-growing—to find their place in the world and understand they aren't alone.

a delightful finish to a great trilogy. I honestly can't recommend this series enough. I don't want to give any spoilers, so I'll avoid specifics. it's was a thrill from start to finish, with multiple compelling villains, excellent character development, and every subplot tying beautifully into the main storyline.

a delightful finish

Just generally enjoyed the book. The main characters I think were all great in a verity of different ways.

I really liked the aspect that people sometimes think just making one horrible choice might just be bad once but it can snowball and end up ruining everything. The big story line I took from this is you should really consider your decision because in the end it might not just effect you.

I really liked the narrator but the choice of Orion’s voice was off to me.

Loved The Whole Series

If you like slightly dark coming of age stories and the idea of a snarky, melodramatic witch with anger management issues that could destroy all the enclaves in the world, then this series is for you! I loved it. I could not predict some of the plot twists, the narrator is fantastic, and although the ending was a bit too wrapped up (better than the cliff hangers) it is a great series. I’ve read some of Naomi Novik’s other books (Spinning Silver was great) and she’s now one of my favorite authors. I’ve definitely binge listened to this last book in the series!

Great Book

It is definitely not an expected ending, but oh my gosh it ties bits in from all across the series. Aside from having a third book, it still would beat Rothfuss' work just with the character building and language and key world building that you knew all along but it finally connected by just a well placed word. I love it! Wonderful narrator as well. Oh, and props to bisexual and polyamorous representation.

It's surpassed the Kingkiller Chronicles as a fav
