Saving the world is a test no school of magic can prepare you for in the triumphant conclusion to the New York Times bestselling trilogy that began with A Deadly Education and The Last Graduate.

The one thing you never talk about while you’re in the Scholomance is what you’ll do when you get out. Not even the richest enclaver would tempt fate that way. But it’s all we dream about: the hideously slim chance we’ll survive to make it out the gates and improbably find ourselves with a life ahead of us, a life outside the Scholomance halls.

And now the impossible dream has come true. I’m out, we’re all out—and I didn’t even have to turn into a monstrous dark witch to make it happen. So much for my great-grandmother’s prophecy of doom and destruction. I didn’t kill enclavers, I saved them. Me and Orion and our allies. Our graduation plan worked to perfection: We saved everyone and made the world safe for all wizards and brought peace and harmony to all the enclaves everywhere.

Ha, only joking! Actually, it’s gone all wrong. Someone else has picked up the project of destroying enclaves in my stead, and probably everyone we saved is about to get killed in the brewing enclave war. And the first thing I’ve got to do now, having miraculously gotten out of the Scholomance, is turn straight around and find a way back in.

Completely satisfying conclusion

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on December 27, 2022

Verified Purchase

The first book of this trilogy was a gradually-unfolding discovery. The second, I tore through like a maniac, needing to know WHAT would happen NEXT!!!
The third, I delayed reading. I knew that at the end of the book, that El's amazing, perspective-altering story would be over; and that I would miss her, and her friends and her world.
When I finally took the plunge, it was even better than I thought it would be. Revelations blindsided me with sudden clarity to what had been there all along.
This story (all three books, together) is so skillfully written that even someone who's read thousands of books was drawn in and lost in the tale.
Put simply, I loved it. Best trilogy, ever. <3

This book makes roller coasters seem like a smooth relaxing Sunday drive.
Will El get to live happily ever after?
Not after that cliff hanger... unless... Nope. Definitely not, except...
Oh, now all my hopes are dashed... but wait...
And I could not put it down. Had to read it all in one sitting.
I don't think I'm ever going to recover from this.
I'm expecting a sequel, because I need to know what happens to El's kid. El is definitely going to have a kid sometime soon.

So freaking good!!!! I love El with all my heart and I was crying by the end because she is so damn cute and lovable. The reveals gave me chills.
Loved the world building there Naomi!!! I really enjoyed how it all came together. You can really see all the time that went there to make a cohesive story.
Thank you for this incredible ending, I couldn’t have enjoyed it more!!
Really sad that we won’t have another books with theses characters, I really liked them.

Haven’t had a chance to read it yet but the hole in the jacket sort of ruins the look of the three books beside each other.

Excellent end to an amazing trilogy!

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on December 20, 2022

I loved the ride that was the Scholomance trilogy. Best trilogy ever! And I don't say that lightly. Were there things that weren't tied up at the end? Some, yes. But did it detract from the quality of the story? Not for me.

I absolutely loved the main theme's twist. I won't say what it was, but it was perfectly developed from the beginning of book one to be revealed in this last book and I love that kind of planning an continuity.

A great series from the start to this end

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 11, 2022

This review is going to contain some spoilers for the ending of The Last Graduate. But to summarise, yes, buy this book, buy the whole series and consume them. That said, on with the review.
So this book once again picks up right where the last one left off, with El being shoved through the gates at graduation by Orion as he turns to face off against the maw mouth Patience. From literally the first sentence I was hooked. Unfortunately I agreed with a friend that I’d hold off on reading it until he’d gotten his copy so, after reading a chapter and a half, I forced myself to lock it in a drawer. And I needed that lock between me and the book as well because just that chapter and a half I had a compulsive need to keep reading.
I was interested in seeing how this could be Lesson Three of the Scholomance seeing as the last book ended with it being cheerfully yeeted off into the void. And I wasn’t disappointed. Not only does The Golden Enclaves build upon that ending it builds upon the whole series. It brought to the surface threads that I hadn’t noticed running through all the books and it did it in such a natural ways. I’m going to have to go back and reread the other books, again, because this one will change how I view them.
And the twist in this book! I love the twist. I’m obviously not going to spoil what it is but when I worked it out I messaged my friend and expressed my admiration for it with a whole lot of swearing. That’s how you know it’s a good twist.
I read a lot of books and the majority of them are good. But even compared to them this one is special. This is a series that I won’t just read, appreciate and forget but one that I will go back to and probably reread at least once a year. Because in the field of publishing as a whole, this really does stand out as a beacon of good writing, good plotting and an interesting world.

Brilliant finish to an enthralling series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 27, 2022

Verified Purchase

Naomi Novik completed the Scholmance trilogy with this book and did it in style. The book continues the engrossing writing she uses that juggles the events as they occur for the protagonist El, with history and knowledge of the world around her. The Golden Archives also shows off the strong world building Novik has performed by pulling together threads from the initial two books and uses what has happened there to take the reader in a completely unexpected, but perfectly designed direction. Events that you thought were done and dusted suddenly have new implications as El and the reader learn more. The promises and prophecies the author and characters made were all fulfilled; just not as you expected them to be!

Naomi then pulls everything together for a fraught but satisfying conclusion, with a little bit of an epilogue to let you know whats happening after.

Anyone who has enjoyed the series to date should love this conclusion. For others, whether you love or detest young adult books, you should definitely give the series a go. Its quirkiness, mix of darkness and light, snarkiness and caring, twists and turns, should enthrall any reader.

Well done Naomi Novik!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 6, 2023

If you haven't read the first two books, don't start here!

If you have, then this is all and more that you were looking for from the author. Each one of these books comes to a decent conclusion. They leave you looking for more but don't finish unnaturally. The conclusion to book 2 may be heartbreaking, but it would be a decent enough place to leave the audience.

So you come to this book, wondering how it can satisfy the painful ending of its predecessor, building on the story of the first and second, yet still remain a decent book in itself. It meets and exceeds your expectations, bringing a sense of completion to the world building, answering questions that you didn't realise you had until the answers were provided. It turns things on their head and leaves you in a world where the villains are all too believable, their crimes both too horrifying and yet too mundane.

It is a really good tale, written well and moving at a fast pace. The female leads stands strong in the centre, and unlike many of these stories, isn't made smaller by the conclusion, by her friends or the romance element.

It's a brilliant book in a brilliant series.

Dark Revelations... and I might have whiplash.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 2, 2022

Verified Purchase

Great book, some progression flaws and a ton of room left in that universe for other series/spinoffs/novels to be written.

Characters:
I can't think of what to say here.
El and her friends are such great characters.
Not going to say anything about Orion because I would definitely end up writing spoilers.

Plot progression:
This book got a lot done, but left a lot of space for a sequel or spinoff.
While this book does serve as a reasonable conclusion, it seems very rushed-to-the-end in how it was written when compared to the previous two.
I will be sorely disappointed if nothing else is written in the Scholomance universe.
The Scholomance deserves a spinoff series for the next generation (and some big catastrophe to progress the plot of course).
Liesel deserves a spinoff series for her revenge.
Nobody can tell me otherwise.

The title:
Some dark revelations about enclaves are sure to surprise you in this book.
The ebook page title puts this right in front of you then kind of tells you that it's meaningless with the whole "tiktok made me read it".
Most people aren't on tiktok and I doubt tiktok paid for that bit of advertising/promotion, so I don't get why it's even there tbh.

Plot vs length:
While book 1 was just over 300 pages, book 2 had over 900.
Book 3 had about the same amount of plot-relevant content as book 2, but it all got jammed into 400 pages.
I will admit that book 2 did stretch on a bit, but if the author was trying to keep the books short, she could have easily made this one into two books.

A great series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 23, 2022

Verified Purchase

I don't have a lot to say other than this series was great. Everything ties together well and the ending is satisfying. And unlike a certain other magical school series, in this one the protagonist is disgusted by the horrible system the wizards use and fights to change it, rather than passively accepting it and becoming its chief enforcer after saving only a token character.

My only complaint is the "tiktok made me read it" in the title. It certainly did not and I don't know why you'd put that there. Did tiktok pay for advertising? It's just a weird meta thing.
