A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik
4.0
adventurous dark lighthearted fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

The entertainment value on this one is top notch. MC picked a lane and stayed in it, and honestly I really appreciate some character consistency right about now.

It takes a chapter or two, to really get a hang of the universe, but once you do it's very consistent and easy to grasp. The ending is an unfair hook, not really a cliffhanger, but enough to make you invested in book 2 without actually picking up book 2. Pretty great job.👌
