\u201cOne of the ways you make magic work is by believing it\u2019s going to work.\u201d Readers love Naomi Novik\u2019s series set at the mysterious (and deadly) Scholomance. Volume two,\xa0The Last Graduate,\xa0has just landed, and our favorite prickly heroine Galadriel (El) is back, along with her gang of friends, and, of course, Orion Lake, who El might just hate a little less these days.
