I'm sold! After Uprooted and especially Spinning Silver, I'll read pretty much anything by Naomi Novik.
This is everything I never realised I need in 2020.
I AM POSITIVELY SURE I AM DREAMING! THIS MUST BE A DREAM, RIGHT?!? *swoons*
Woo! So good! Will write a much longer review when Im allowed. Ill just say Naomi always delivers in new and unexpected ways.

When I read the series name, Scholomance, my first thoughts are World of Warcraft.

So basically this is like a female-led, dark Harry Potter? Written by Naomi Novik?
Also... Dont walk the halls alone. And beware of the monsters who lurk everywhere is advice that should have been given to all Hogwarts students tbh ...more

"Reads like a darker, feminist harry potter" um yes I think I do need this
This book is AMAZING. I was lucky to read it in advance and I had not been so excited about a fantasy novel for a long time. Maybe since I read Harry Potter as a child. This story is definitely for adults, horrifying, ironic, a can't-stop-reading novel that I can't wait to recommend to my friends. Reading this novel without being able to discuss it with anyone has been terrible. I can't wait to see it published!!!

Yayyy, the "yelling-at-Harry-Potter" book has a title and release date!
I was at Naomi Novik's kaffeeklatch at Worldcon 2019 and she described this book as "imagine if Hogwarts was trying to kill the students".
The entire table gave voice to a simultaneous, incredulous "IF???"
