An extraordinary final book in the Scholomance series! We finally get to meet the families of a lot of the characters from books 1 and 2, and see more breadth of the characters we've gotten to know. El's Mum in particular, it was brilliant to finally meet her!

The enclaves are so much more complex even than I'd anticipated. El and her fellow graduating classmates are in that awkward intermediate state of being out of school but not yet being treated as adults.

So many questions were answered in this book, and yet there are quite a few plot turns that surprised me.
