I liked that Aadhya and Liu got a lot of time on the page, because their friendship is at least as important at the El-Orion relationship, and I love their dynamic. El is a better person than she wants to be be, despite dire prophesies of her future. She’s snarky, and she would love to believe that she doesn’t care about people, but she can’t help it. El’s voice remains unique and prickly, the narrative style is one of my favorite things about this series. Our reluctant protagonist has to deal with a terrible class schedule, the discomfort of being popular after years of social ostracism, and a host of other problems. El also has to reckon with a warning she received from her mother, to stay away from Orion Lake, her kind-of-boyfriend. The second book in the Scholomance trilogy, The Last Graduate, follows El and her friends as they begin their senior year and preparations for the lethal graduation run.
