读过 The Golden Enclaves 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕
El有道德、勇气、自省、聪慧,但这些品质都不是El这个人物最打动我的地方。她最打动我的地方在于,当所有人把牺牲少数人看作不可避免的成本,并决定闭合这个问题之后,她坚持说,这个方案还是失败的,这个问题还没有闭合。每一个拯救所有人的方案,都不是El一个人完成的,最终的成功,依赖于很多人的智慧和努力。但是,所有的解决问题的能力,都不能替代那个时刻,那个El站出来说:——“不,这不可接受”——的时刻,并不在问题解决的过程之中。那个她否认”这是我们能做的全部“的时刻,开启了后面的一切可能性。也许,有些时候,人要“战胜”理性。有些关于宇宙的真实,是无法计算的。我想知道,一个能“战胜”理性,投身于不知道能不能赢的战斗的人,他们的内心世界是什么样的。

Saving the world is a test no school of magic can prepare you for in the triumphant conclusion to the New York Times bestselling trilogy that began with A Deadly Education and The Last Graduate.
The one thing you never talk about while you’re in the Scholomance is what you’ll do when you get out. Not even the richest enclaver would tempt fate that way. But it’s all we dream about: the hideously slim chance we’ll survive to make it out the gates and improbably find ourselves with a life ahead of us, a life outside the Scholomance halls.
And now the impossible dream has come true. I’m out, we’re all out—and I didn’t even have to turn into a monstrous dark witch to make it happen. So much for my great-grandmother’s prophecy of doom and destruction. I didn’t kill enclavers, I saved them. Me and Orion and our allies. Our graduation plan worked to perfection: We saved everyone and made the world safe for all wizards and brought peace and harmony to all the enclaves everywhere.
Ha, only joking! Actually, it’s gone all wrong. Someone else has picked up the project of destroying enclaves in my stead, and probably everyone we saved is about to get killed in the brewing enclave war. And the first thing I’ve got to do now, having miraculously gotten out of the Scholomance, is turn straight around and find a way back in.
