“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme that was originally created by Breaking the Spine. Unfortunately Breaking the Spine are no longer hosting so I’m now linking my posts up to Wishful Endings Can’t Wait Wednesday. Don’t forget to stop over, link up and check out what books everyone else is waiting for. If you want to take part, basically, every Wednesday, we highlight a book that we’re really looking forward to. For the month of May I will be joining up this event with Wyrd and Wonder and highlighting fantasy books. This week my book is : A Deadly Education (Scholomance #1) by Naomi Novik and here’s why:
Lesson One of the Scholomance
Learning has never been this deadly
A Deadly Education is set at Scholomance, a school for the magically gifted where failure means certain death (for real) — until one girl, El, begins to unlock its many secrets. There are no teachers, no holidays, and no friendships, save strategic ones. Survival is more important than any letter grade, for the school won’t allow its students to leave until they graduate… or die! The rules are deceptively simple: Don’t walk the halls alone. And beware of the monsters who lurk everywhere. El is uniquely prepared for the school’s dangers. She may be without allies, but she possesses a dark power strong enough to level mountains and wipe out millions. It would be easy enough for El to defeat the monsters that prowl the school. The problem? Her powerful dark magic might also kill all the other students.
Expected publication: September 2020

Oh my! This sounds like the love child of Harry Potter and The Hunger Games! And I would read it right away if it were available… 😀

I’m so excited for this too. My request on Edelweiss was declined so I’m a bit sad, but I’ll be reading it no matter what😁
Yeah, I don’t have great success with Edelweiss to be honest, but every now and again it gives me something good.
