Staff Picks: A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik

It’s Locus’s 2020 Holiday Countdown of Staff Picks!

Carolyn Cushman selects A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik, saying it “really stands out.” In her review, Adrienne Martini says, “A Deadly Education is not a Harry Potter-esque feel-good story about a school for witchcraft and wizardry. Mind, you will feel good afterwards, because it is so very good, and it does take place in a magical high school. But that is where the comparisons stop.”

You can read Adrienne’s full review online or in the October 2020 issue of Locus.
