eve_reads 's review for:

A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik
3.0
dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Overall Thoughts:
⁕ The main character is 90% a Katniss Everdeen “angry girl” trope and 10% a soft cinnamon roll who is anxious about having friends. I love her a lot.

⁕  There is LOTS of info dumping, and it slows the story down at points.

⁕ The monsters and magic in this novel are ridiculous, bordering absurd at some points. Maybe it’s just me, but I had a hard time envisioning some of the things depicted.

⁕ I probably will read the next book in this series (duology?) just because the cliffhanger at the end was so shocking.
