About A Deadly Education

A girl at a school for magical teenagers has the power to destroy everything around her and spends most of her time actively trying not to. Novik's dry wit and deeply interior narrator — isolated, powerful, and determined not to need anyone — share Circe's appeal in a much darker, funnier package.
