Story
Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

Story
The only life Tress has known on her island home in an emerald-green ocean has been a simple one, with the simple pleasures of collecting cups brought by sailors from faraway lands and listening to stories told by her friend Charlie. But when his father takes him on a voyage to find a bride and disaster strikes, Tress must stow away on a ship and seek the Sorceress of the deadly Midnight Sea. Amid the spore oceans where pirates abound, can Tress leave her simple life behind and make her own place sailing a sea where a single drop of water can mean instant death?

Story
Piranesi lives in the House. Perhaps he always has. In his notebooks, day after day, he makes a clear and careful record of its wonders: the labyrinth of halls, the thousands upon thousands of statues, the tides that thunder up staircases, the clouds that move in slow procession through the upper halls. On Tuesdays and Fridays Piranesi sees his friend, the Other. At other times he brings tributes of food to the Dead. But mostly, he is alone.

Story
Fourteen-year-old Mona isn't like the wizards charged with defending the city. She can't control lightning or speak to water. Her familiar is a sourdough starter, and her magic only works on bread. She has a comfortable life in her aunt's bakery making gingerbread men dance. But Mona's life is turned upside down when she finds a dead body on the bakery floor. An assassin is stalking the streets of Mona's city, preying on magic folk, and it appears that Mona is his next target. And in an embattled city suddenly bereft of wizards, the assassin may be the least of Mona's worries.

Story
The Catenan Republic—the Hierarchy—may rule the world now, but they do not know everything. I tell them my name is Vis Telimus. I tell them I was orphaned after a tragic accident three years ago, and that good fortune alone has led to my acceptance into their most prestigious school. I tell them that once I graduate, I will gladly join the rest of civilized society in allowing my strength, my drive, and my focus—what they call Will—to be leeched away and added to the power of those above me, as millions already do. As all must eventually do.

Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
In the start of an all-new series, the best-selling author of Uprooted and Spinning Silver introduces you to a dangerous school for the magically gifted where failure means certain death - until one girl begins to rewrite its rules.
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 her hardest not to use it...that is, unless she has no other choice.
Wry, witty, endlessly inventive and mordantly funny - yet with a true depth and fierce justice at its heart - this enchanting novel reminds us that there are far more important things than mere survival.

Wasn’t sold initially but then had me in stitches
Wasn’t sure on the style originally but ended up loving it. Persevere if you think it’s not for you. Just like the characters in the books, we as readers need to give Elle chance.

Couldn't put it down - and still can't!!
Novik brings to life a deadly, fascinating world, and El is an entrancing character to be experiencing it all through. The complexity, creativity and ingenuity throughout has kept my constant interest, through many re-reads.
Anisha Dadia goes above and beyond as narrator, enhancing El's witty, snarky personality with on point vocal attitude. Every time I read the hard copy of this book, it's Anisha's voice I imagine. ❤❤❤
A must read for lovers of dangerous fantasy, magic and badass protagonists!

Pretty good
A good base for understand how the school work a good set up for the next book. The girl sounds like a sook; where as she should have just sounded like an independent person that wasn’t used to people helping her. Worth a listen though. I will get the next book, so was worth it.

Wonderfully cliche
It's got all the tropes of a YA fantasy, high school romance novel - but it's done very well. The protagonists doesn't dwell in teen angst too long, so you don't cringe at everything they do.
The narrator does an excellent job. Her voice is full of expression and is able to convey the action packed scenes well.

Fun story
This was a very quick and fun read. I really enjoyed listening to the main character’s relationships with other characters throughout the book. The main character did have a tendency to overly describe and get sidetracked with telling long back stories in the middle of the plot which could sometimes get a bit distracting and slow. But overall enjoyed this book and keen to see where this story goes.
The narration by Anisha was excellent, there was good expression and she captured the main characters voice extremely well.

Perfect narrator
Anisha Dadia has a voice that would lead you to believe she is El, a British teenager with an extra helping of sass, and plenty of bile to spare. Given the the novel is written from the POV of El, the main character, and contains a lot of her inner thoughts and monologues, it wouldn't have made sense to have an older, narrator style voice.
The audiobook feels almost like a movie where we are listening to the young girls thoughts. As for the characters, I love how much, justifiable, rage and bitterness comes from El. Don't worry if this scares you, she will absolutely grow throughout the book.
Orion is one dimensional, kind of, but that us a) actually explainable as you discover his circumstances, and b) there are hints that he is struggling and there is more to him than what we see on the surface. To be honest, any side character that pops up is interesting.
That said, the best character of them all is the scholomance itself. Takes the 'High School is Hell' metaphor and runs with it. If I have to sold you already, then listen to this; Literally, the very last line in the book, is the best line in the entire story, imo. Made me buy the sequel, immediately.

Not Hogwarts
Loved this book when I first read it and enjoyed the narration just as much.
This is a school of
Magic but with no adult wizards to protect you and horrible beasts that want to eat you.

A very deep breath of fresh air from current hyped books - so fun!
Females are depicted as intelligent, witty and strong, without being always pitted against each other. Story is fast-paced and engaging with an excellent vocal performance!
