Throughout The Last Graduate, there are several power struggles and many many surprises. El is given the worst possible class schedule in the worst possible locations, and all the mals are attacking only her, leaving every other student ignored.Īt first, the other students think she’s extremely unlucky, but as the semester rolls on and the trend continues, they start getting suspicious about El and her power. In The Last Graduate, the Scholomance is out to get her. This is very much a “in the life of” type story where the desire to turn the page comes not from figuring out the plot twist before the main character, but simply because you must know what’s going to happen to El next.Įl’s life is not dull. That is to say that there’s no great mystery or information being withheld from either the character or the reader that makes wonder what’s going to happen. Much like the previous book, there isn’t a whole lot of dread or anticipation in The Last Graduate. I won’t say exactly what happens because I always provide spoiler-free reviews, but just know that you’re in for one epic tale that will leave you on the edge of your seat. My first thought before I even cracked open the book was “El is going to shake up or dismantle the system.” The title of the book should provide a lot of foreshadowing. El is now a senior and graduation is approaching.
