Our view

“The Golden Enclaves” takes the Scholomance trilogy out of its school and into the wider world, a move that divides readers. Those who miss the classroom setting, or who guess the twists early, can find the rest slow going; others value a conclusion that leaves problems unsolved yet ends on hope. Some readers need time to get used to El’s narration. Read it for the ending of the story, not as a place to start.
