Review: Naomi Novik's Magic Math Actually Makes Sense

The Golden Enclaves is the third installment of Novik's best-selling Scholomance trilogy.

One sign something is terribly wrong with a society is when students emerge from its elite education institutions damaged and confused—if they make it through at all.

In the third installment of her best-selling Scholomance trilogy, The Golden Enclaves, Naomi Novik sends Galadriel "El" Higgins, her protagonist from A Deadly Education and The Last Graduate, out into a messy adult wizarding community after having (mostly) beaten the rigged game of her deadly magical school. Novik's particular strength is writing worlds where the mechanics make sense—the mathematics of power, the economics of magic, the politics of institutions—even as they offer dark echoes of our own dysfunctional reality.

We'll see how much of her nuanced world building remains intact when the series, which is being adapted by Universal, makes its big screen debut.

If you want a better Harry Potter, google for Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. Fanfic, well-written, a bit too talky in places, with a common sense rational Harry, whose goal is to combine magic and quantum physics. A much better ending than the seventh volume. And it draw attention to odd things like brooms not obeying Newton's Laws, the misbegotten incentives in Quidditch scoring, and the arbitrage opportunities in magical money.

It is a very good series, and I was so engrossed that I pre-ordered The Golden Enclaves. Each book is better than the previous.

I have no idea how they can adapt this to the screen.

Google pays an hourly wage of $100. My most recent online earnings for a 40-hour work week were $3500. According to my younger brother’s acquaintance, he works cs-02 roughly 30 hours each week and earns an average of $12,265. I’m in awe of how simple things once were.
