The Last Graduate

by Naomi Novik

Book 2 of the The Scholomance series

El and her classmates enter their final Scholomance year knowing graduation requires crossing a hall filled with monsters waiting to consume them. Instead of accepting that only a fraction can survive, El becomes determined to use her destructive power to create a path for everyone. Rescuing younger students, building alliances, and confronting the school's changing behavior make cooperation more dangerous and more necessary. Fierce and suspenseful, this sequel suits readers who enjoy deadly schools, reluctant leaders, collective rebellion, and heroines trying to defeat a system rather than merely win within it.
