In the conclusion of Novik's spellbinding dark academia trilogy, El must deal with the aftermath of her grand graduation breakout. Though she escaped the Scholomance, she grieves Orion who was left behind. However, a brewing enclave war threatens the lives of everyone they saved and El must return to the Scholomance when she begins to uncover the true nature of the enclaves. Although Novik ties up the series well, the slower pace and elaborate world-building weren't my favorite.
