The Last Graduate

I feel like I need to start out by saying that the first book in the series, A Deadly Education, left me disappointed. I will admit a lot of that is my own fault for having certain expectations about what a book about the Scholomance should be about, i.e. the famous school of black magic run by the Devil where Dracula himself studied.

That said, this book had the benefit of not having those expectations and being able to stand on its own. While I still didn't love it as much as I'd hoped, the school and world within it exist is very interesting and the ending was strong enough to make sure I come back for book three upon its release.

Thanks to Del Rey Books and NetGalley for allowing me to read a digital review copy in exchange for an honest review.
