![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I quite liked Orion, he was an honest character and also felt very genuine and kind, the complete opposite of El. It was also interesting to see how El’s character arc also impacted other characters’ arcs. However, she did develop really well and became a likeable character. She felt a little too much like the YA ‘I’m not like other girls’ stereotype. ![]() To start with, I wasn’t sold on El as the protagonist, she was angry and rude and just a little dislikable. It did end up taking me a little longer than I thought to read as it is a bit slow-paced to start with and once it gets going is quite a medium-paced book. I chose it because I wanted something to break up the library books and this looked the slimmest of all in my TBR stack. This is one of the books I bought at YALC and I am slowly getting around to reading them all. Orion Lake, however, doesn’t seem to understand the rules, he spends his time saving the other students, El included, despite the fact that she could destroy them all without any effort. El is different, she hasn’t made any alliances and is just spending her time surviving. There are no teachers, no holidays and no friendships, only strategic alliances for the magically gifted. The first lesson to learn at the Scholomance is that failure means death. A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik is the first in the Scholomance series. ![]()
