The Golden Enclaves: A Novel (The Scholomance)

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER - Saving the world is a test no school of magic can prepare you for in the triumphant conclusion to the New York Times bestselling trilogy that began with A Deadly Education and The Last Graduate.

FINALIST FOR THE HUGO AWARD - ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Paste, Publishers Weekly

The one thing you never talk about while you're in the Scholomance is what you'll do when you get out. Not even the richest enclaver would tempt fate that way. But it's all we dream about: the hideously slim chance we'll survive to make it out the gates and improbably find ourselves with a life ahead of us, a life outside the Scholomance halls.

And now the impossible dream has come true. I'm out, we're all out--and I didn't even have to turn into a monstrous dark witch to make it happen. So much for my great-grandmother's prophecy of doom and destruction. I didn't kill enclavers, I saved them. Me and Orion and our allies. Our graduation plan worked to perfection: We saved everyone and made the world safe for all wizards and brought peace and harmony to all the enclaves everywhere.

Ha, only joking! Actually, it's gone all wrong. Someone else has picked up the project of destroying enclaves in my stead, and probably everyone we saved is about to get killed in the brewing enclave war. And the first thing I've got to do now, having miraculously gotten out of the Scholomance, is turn straight around and find a way back in.

I'm very upset the series is over.   I remember not being attached after the first book, and being deeply annoyed at being left in a place after the second.  The third book has left me with a book hangover.  This world that once seemed too dark, now seems to be irrevocably connected to me.  I'll miss it.  I'll miss all of the characters.  The ending was satisfying. Well done.

It's definitely a good ending to the trilogy, but I will say it really makes you work for the happy ending. Also once someone mentions how exact the capitalistic metaphor is with mana you just can't stop seeing it everywhere. I will say this series actually puts my translation skills into practice and I love it!

I loved this series and wished this last book could have gone on longer. I listened to the book at 1x and not slightly sped up just so I could enjoy it longer. Alas, all good things must end.
