This series is everything I didn’t know I wanted. El is an incredible character, and we get so much continued growth from her in book 2. We also get a better sense of the students at the Scholomance as El and her friends navigate their senior year. The magic is still fascinating and complex, the stakes are higher than ever, and the commentary on inequality, class, and privilege is resounding.
