I read all three books in Naomi Novik's Scholomance trilogy this year (A Deadly Education is the first). I was drawn in by the wonderfully sarcastic protagonist, Galadriel (El). She's determined to remain good despite her immense aptitude towards becoming a dark and powerful sorceress in the 'all shall love me and despair' vein, but that doesn't mean she has to suffer fools gladly. And I was kept immersed by the Scholomance itself - a school for magical children that kills a good percentage of them - as well as a plot that, as it unfolded over the three books, turned out to be both darker and cleverer than I had realised. An absolutely fantastic read in all senses of the word.
Enter a school of magic unlike any you have ever encountered.
There are no teachers, no holidays, friendships are purely strategic, and the odds of survival are never equal. Once you're inside, there are only two ways out: you graduate or you die.
El Higgins is uniquely prepared for the school's many dangers. She may be without allies, but she possesses a dark power strong enough to level mountains and wipe out untold millions - never mind easily destroy the countless monsters that prowl the school.
Except, she might accidentally kill all the other students, too. So El is trying…
Twelve-year-old identical twins Ellie and Kat accidentally trigger their physicist mom’s unfinished time machine, launching themselves into a high-stakes adventure in 1970 Chicago. If they learn how to join forces and keep time travel out of the wrong hands, they might be able find a way home. Ellie’s gymnastics and…
I read and absolutely adored Katherine Addison's The Goblin Emperor a long time ago, and I've had The Witness for the Dead sitting in my Kindle account ever since. Somehow I never got round to reading it until this year, and now I'm wondering what took me so long. It follows one of the characters from The Goblin Emperor, Celehar (the titular Witness for the Dead), as he investigates several interconnected deaths in the city of Amalo. As with The Goblin Emperor, Addison doesn't spoonfeed her readers. She's created a world with a large array of naming conventions, customs and social traditions, and it's up to you to keep up. Despite that, I found The Witness for the Dead a calm and oddly comforting read. I loved Celehar and would be happy to spend many days following him around, drinking tea and solving murders. If you enjoyed The Goblin Emperor,…
When the young half-goblin emperor Maia sought to learn who had set the bombs that killed his father and half-brothers, he turned to an obscure resident of his Court, a Prelate of Ulis and a Witness for the Dead.
Thara Celehar found the truth, though it did him no good to discover it. Now he lives in the City of Amalo, far from the Court though not exactly in exile. He has not escaped from politics, but his position gives him the ability to serve the common people of the city, which is his preference.
