OPEN A BOOK,OPEN THE WORLD
A Deadly Education (The Scholomance Book 1), by Naomi Novik
《哈利波特》魔法學校 x《飢餓遊戲》致命元素
✏️美國作家 Naomi Novik 於2020年最新推出的奇幻小說系列
個性陰沉的女主角 Galadriel (而她更喜歡直接叫她El) 跟學校裡的模範生兼萬人迷兼英雄 Orion 是超級死對頭，特別是在 Orion 救了她第二次以後，El 就知道他必須「去死！」
在 Scholomance 這所學校中，必須學會從成群的怪物和被下咒的古文物中生存，然而 El 深知在自己體內流竄的法力可能才是校內最致命的東西。她自許應駕馭這股力量，並成為－黑暗女王。至少，大家都那麼認為，同學們甚至還期待 Orion 能夠殺掉 El ，彷彿是除掉邪惡女巫一般的存在，甚至連校方也這麼認為。
El 才不管其他人到底怎麼看她，也不會讓他們的想法得逞，她要在這危機重重的魔法校園生存戰中活到最後。
I decided that Orion Lake needed to die after the second time he saved my life.
Everyone loves Orion Lake. Everyone else, that is. Far as I’m concerned, he can keep his flashy combat magic to himself. I’m not joining his pack of adoring fans.
I don’t need help surviving the Scholomance, even if they do. Forget the hordes of monsters and cursed artifacts, I’m probably the most dangerous thing in the place. Just give me a chance and I’ll level mountains and kill untold millions, make myself the dark queen of the world.
At least, that’s what the world expects. Most of the other students in here would be delighted if Orion killed me like one more evil thing that’s crawled out of the drains. Sometimes I think they want me to turn into the evil witch they assume I am. The school certainly does.
But the Scholomance isn’t getting what it wants from me. And neither is Orion Lake. I may not be anyone’s idea of the shining hero, but I’m going to make it out of this place alive, and I’m not going to slaughter thousands to do it, either.
Although I’m giving serious consideration to just one.
