The Last Graduate by Naomi Novik

I instantly wanted to jump into this one after listening to A Deadly Education, but had to wait a week or so to get it from the library. It was just as good if not better than the first, and I loved how it went from being a super local focused problem to the kids trying to fix the monster problem for the entire magical world. I was totally enthralled by the entire story and could not wait to see how they conquered and managed to save the world--until the LITERAL LAST SENTENCE which left us with the BIGGEST CLIFFHANGER EVER. And then come to find out the next book in the trilogy doesn't come out until the fall! I was so disappointed. But definitely have something awesome to look forward to whenever it does come out.
