This sequel to Novik's A Deadly Education finds El and her newfound friends and allies preparing for their senior year and graduation from the Scholomance, a beyond-dangerous school for young wizards. "Graduation" is nothing like the caps and gowns that we mundane people know — instead, it's an all-out sprint past and fight against maleficent magical beings that fill the graduation hall and attempt to block the seniors from the portal door that will return them home. Even with alliances, El and her pals are fighting an uphill battle for survival.
I didn't like this one quite as much as the first Scholomance book, probably because El has friends and allies now. Also, this book ends on a cliffhanger, which I *really* hate, particularly when the next book hasn't come out yet. Yes, I'll read the next one, but I'm going to grump about this end until it gets here.
