Summary
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。
Almost singlehandedly--although backed by an increasingly large cadre of genuine friends--El has changed the nature of the Scholomance forever。 But now that she is back in the real world， how will the lessons she learned inside the school apply？ Will her grandmother's prophecy come true？ Will she really spell the doom of all the enclaves forever？
As the quest to save her one true love ramps up， however， El is about to learn the most significant lesson of all--the dire truth on which the enclaves and the whole stability of the magical world are founded。 And being El， she is not likely to let it lie。。。。

Electronic ARC provided by NetGalley。 The Golden Enclaves is the final book of the Scholomance trilogy and I'm glad to be able to say that it is just as wonderful and satisfying as I hoped that it would be。 It begins directly after the end of The Last Graduate， with El trying （and mostly failing） to process graduation。 The first part of the book moves a bit slowly because of this， as El definitely has issues and spends a lot of time being depressed and angry。 However， once the action starts to m Electronic ARC provided by NetGalley。 The Golden Enclaves is the final book of the Scholomance trilogy and I'm glad to be able to say that it is just as wonderful and satisfying as I hoped that it would be。 It begins directly after the end of The Last Graduate， with El trying （and mostly failing） to process graduation。 The first part of the book moves a bit slowly because of this， as El definitely has issues and spends a lot of time being depressed and angry。 However， once the action starts to move the book is pretty much perfect and offers some amazing bits of world building that pull the entire series together。 Here we finally get the full story behind enclaves and the world power structure of the magic users， as well as resolution for El and her friends （also， I kind of love Liesel now， she was awesome in this book）。 I really don't want to say too much here because the book is better experienced on your own。 I will say that when I finished The Golden Enclaves I immediately picked up my copy of the first book in the trilogy so that I could read it again。 This is a truly fantastic trilogy， and one of the best things about it is that it's all about choosing to be kind in a world where it would be so simple to choose the easy option。 Over and over again El chooses kindness over selfishness， and through her struggle she slowly begins to convince others to do the same。 She shows them that there is another choice。 I love that these books don't act as if kindness is easy。 El struggles constantly when it would be so easy to give in， and it makes her story wonderful to read。 With this trilogy Naomi Novik has really cemented herself as a must read for me。 I'm sorry that this series is over， only because it was so wonderful。 I can't wait to see what Novik does next。 。。。more

I have already read the first two books in this series， and have loved them and everything else Naomi Novik has ever written， but I was wondering how the author would handle this volume， AFTER graduation， and what on earth she would have the longsuffering El DO。 I didn't need to worry。 This was a great trilogy ender （although if there are more El stories coming I will totally read them！）I think Novik kept the excitement and pace up perfectly as the graduating class tries to clean up the mess the I have already read the first two books in this series， and have loved them and everything else Naomi Novik has ever written， but I was wondering how the author would handle this volume， AFTER graduation， and what on earth she would have the longsuffering El DO。 I didn't need to worry。 This was a great trilogy ender （although if there are more El stories coming I will totally read them！）I think Novik kept the excitement and pace up perfectly as the graduating class tries to clean up the mess the elders have made。 I love these characters and really enjoyed more time with them。 。。。more

A beautiful ending for Naomi Novik's Scholomance trilogy。 Everything you hope for and dread。 Friendships made in the Scholomance becoming life long alliances and loyalty。 I love the characters and their striving to right some of the wrongs in their world。 It made me laugh and cry。 I will miss this world and these characters。Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for an ARC。 A beautiful ending for Naomi Novik's Scholomance trilogy。 Everything you hope for and dread。 Friendships made in the Scholomance becoming life long alliances and loyalty。 I love the characters and their striving to right some of the wrongs in their world。 It made me laugh and cry。 I will miss this world and these characters。Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for an ARC。 。。。more

I can deal with suspense…absolutely。 Pain and betrayal， why not， expected in series。 But this book better end with Orion and El skipping off into the sunset， holding hands， or I will combust in a ball of fury and sorrow。

Thanks to Edelweiss+ and the publisher for an ARC of the book in exchange for an honest review。I thought this was a great conclusion to the trilogy！ After the end of the last one I was eagerly waiting for this and was not disappointed。 Graduation had happened and I was curious as to where the story would go。 I thought it was an interesting look at transitioning out of school in a sort of coming-of-age story where the stakes are cranked up to 11。 Definitely recommend this series to fans of fantas Thanks to Edelweiss+ and the publisher for an ARC of the book in exchange for an honest review。I thought this was a great conclusion to the trilogy！ After the end of the last one I was eagerly waiting for this and was not disappointed。 Graduation had happened and I was curious as to where the story would go。 I thought it was an interesting look at transitioning out of school in a sort of coming-of-age story where the stakes are cranked up to 11。 Definitely recommend this series to fans of fantasy。 。。。more

Would have been 5 if not for the torturously long introspective inner dialogue。 It was almost like she was villain monologue-ing herself at one point。 Other than that， fantastic。
