2022 book 161

 Naomi Novik's A Deadly Education

I wanted to reread the first two books in this series before the third comes out next week, so I made it the book club pick for this month (devil emoji, laughing emoji, etc). I really love this book, which features a deadly magic school and the most delightful prickly pear of a protagonist, and what happens when the school's golden boy hero saves her life for a second time. But romance is not the focus here! Survival and friendship and learning various scholarly things as well as life lessons is! Things get much more action packed in the second half, leading to a wallop of a cliffhanger (but not as bad as the one in the second book, ughhhhh one more week to see how things resolve).
