Schooled in Magic #13
The Gordian Knot
The post of Head Girl of Whitehall looks fantastic on anyone's resume. It places the lucky winner on equal terms to the staff, granting them authority, power and responsibility that no other student can even dream of possessing. A student lucky enough to win the coveted post is destined for greatness. Everyone will want to know their name.
Naturally, Emily doesn't want it.
But when she returns to Whitehall for her sixth and final year, she discovers that the staff has elected her to the post - and refusal isn't an option. Worse, the Grandmaster wants her to run his pet project - a formal dueling club - even though it's the last thing she wants to do. Reluctantly, she starts to carry out her new duties, unaware that deadly enemies are waiting in the shadows, preparing themselves to strike at her when her back is turned. Someone is spreading rumors about her, someone is sabotaging her projects, someone is weakening the ties that bind her to Whitehall ...
And, as matters start to spin out of control, as the life and soul of one of her closest friends is thrown into terrifying danger, Emily must decide between carrying out her duties or walking away, knowing that either choice will cost her dearly ...
... And leave her alone at the center of a deadly storm.

I'm not sure how he does it, but Mr Nuttall keeps on producing great additions to the Schooled in Magic series. I've loved seeing Emily grow from a scared teenage girl into a young, confidant adult. And, its not just Emily! All the other characters have continued to evolve as well and, consequently, they have grown more fascinating and relatable as individuals and in their interpersonal relationships.
As I have mentioned in reviews of previous books in this series, the thing that most appeals to me about these books is that Mr Nuttall has developed a system of magic that can be comprehended, not just taken on faith. When reading about how the spell-work is put together and charged, the reader can almost envision such a thing working in the real world.
I loved this book and I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

The book starts quite slowly, then virtually comes to a stop. It has turned into a high school soap opera where little of consequence actually happens until right at the end of the book.
There was the ongoing saga of Frieda, but that just went on and on, so even when it was resolved I just didn’t care.
I’m also getting a bit fed up with Whitehall, most of the tutors, especially Gordian, aren’t fit to look after dolls house never mind a school. It really is about time Emily ditched this place, in fact Whitehall has had its day and I don’t think I will be reading the next book.
Although I still keep reading these books, I have issues with the author. If you go back to some of the earlier books Emily was vastly more powerful and demonstrate far greater skills than she is doing now. Has he simply forgotten what he wrote in previous books?

Don't get me wrong I love the rest of this series, but this book sucked, nothing happened like at all. I read the book on my kindle and I kept going to the progess Bar at the bottom: 30% nothing happened, 50% still nothings happened, 80% nope still boring, 85% thought the sidekick might be becoming a werewolf (but nope), then the book ended WTF.
This is the first book in the series I have had to wait for as I only picked up the series this year, and
I have read reviews complaining about other books in the series being mere fillers in the reviewers opinion, guess this is the first book for me that felt this way as in the past I could always read the next book straight away.
Anyway super disappointed.

Ze začátku, tím myslím první knihu, jsem měla s příběhem trochu problémy. Byl v plenkách a nebyl zcela... učesaný.
A pak jsem posledných sedm osm knih přečetla za dva dny. Co to o psaní vypovídá? ^^
The Gordian Knot je spíše pomalá jízda oproti akcí nadupaným minulým dílům, ale člověk si potřebuje trochu vydechnout. I když, to, čím si Emily prošla v této knize, možná nejde klasifikovat jako "vydechnout". :D
Konec byl jako pěst mezi oči a nejsem si jistá, jak ráda bych byla, kdybych neměla další díl po ruce. Takto se hned vrhám na pokračování. *smích*
btw - love this sentense. :D

I'm impressed by the quality of these books when you take into account the insane speed they are written at (I found them good and enjoyable even before seeing the publishing pace).
Having said that, as the author himself mentions in the afterword, lately there's been a bit of a tendency towards more book and less story (the infinite regress/past tense book-split being the first), with this one being more of a set-up for the next book.
As a bit of a slacker, I've never been in quite the time crunch Emily seems to be, especially considering the implications of some of the things she doesn't have time to follow up. Anyway, looking forward to reading the next book in novemberish.

At this point in the series, the author is has so many threads going, he seems to be struggling to balance everything b/c the metaverse is becoming unwieldy and he need to wrap some up to get back on track. It looks like this book is first of a duology to wrap up a specific story line that has overstayed its welcome (the ending of this book), one that isn't very interesting, but I guess needed to be eventually wrapped up.
The author really does have to get Emily out of the school, which I guess is what the next novel is about.

Well, I have said before that I do prefer the books where Emily is back at Whitehall and that is exactly what I got in this book. But…I got it in the form of a soap-opera-at-Whitehall kind of story which was a bit of a bummer for me.
I am afraid that I have to agree with a number of other reviewers in that this book is quite slow and not much interesting really happens. The story slowly drags on depicting Emily’s and Frida’s misfortunes at Whitehall. Misfortunes that, not very surprisingly, are engineered by Emily’s enemies.
There is really no action, no suspense and no thrill in this installment. At least not for me. It did not take very long for me to get into a sigh-get-it-over-with-and-get-on-with-the-good-stuff mode when reading.
I am also a bit surprised that Emily despite now having much more life experience under her belt than most of her age as well as having bested three necromancers and good knows how many other beasts and vilains, still never seems to mature in any higher degree in terms of social skills or self confidence. There is a particular passage where Emily is confronted with a furious Frida and her handling of the psychological/social aspect is downright frustrating. I considered Emily smarter than that. By now she has the intelligence as well as skills to become much more of a kick-ass-chick than she is in this book.
When I am in my whining mode anyway, let’s talk about the ending. Eh, on second thought, let’s not because there is not much to say, or at least not much that I want to say. It is a cliffhanger as far as I am concerned. It also gives me very bad vibes about the next book in the series by re-introducing an old adversary that I really, Really, REALLY feel would be best left forgotten.
If this is the kind of story you like the book is great. As usual it is technically very well written. For me it was really a bit of torture getting through it though. If I should rate it only based on what I felt about the story then my rating would be quite low but given how well written it is the would be unfair. Three out of five stars is as high as I can go though.

Easily the worst book in the series. After all the great books with epic magical themes, we now get an "high school drama" story that frankly was not very good even as that. This book starts of slow and actually gets slower.
There was nothing new. No new wonderful thing that Emily learned or created. No use of her power that she previously gained. If anything it was a giant step backwards. When something interesting seemed like it was going to develop (finally) with the underground tunnels, it fizzles into "we should deal with that in another book, but let's get back to the boring high school drama."
I can only hope that the next book will be better, but the "cliffhanger" frankly was idiotic so my hopes aren't high. By idiotic, I mean seriously something that should not be able to happen in more ways than one.
2 out of 5 stars and that may be generous because the rest of the series is really good.

My least favorite of the series
First I've enjoyed the series until this book.
Up until now the author took a young girl who was summoned to this universe and challenged her. I've enjoyed watching a young girl coming to her own.
Then... this. So give her the mild annoyance of being "head girl". First I'm giving a pass assuming this may actually be a thing at boarding schools in the UK. Still it screams Harry Potter much? Regardless this young woman who has been to war, killed 3 necromancers, and dealt with royalty. Seriously?
The start of the book is okay. It just progressively gets horrid. The last chapters are truly awful in my opinion. Destroying anything I could have enjoyed in this book.

I bought the book as soon as I discovered it was available and ... I’m disappointed. This wasn’t as good as the other books in the series, at least in my opinion. Nothing happened here. It was a pretty long read for nothing. I could have skipped almost the whole book and wouldn’t miss a thing in the plot. And you just don’t leave cliffhangers like that when books come every 4-6 months... :/

I found this installment too slow. There was too much build up to a story that hasn't been written yet. I imagine Graduation Day will provide the resolution for the arc that is not yet complete, I just found The Gordian Knot a bit of a come-down from the fast pace, action and mystery of the previous two books.

This fell flat
I have enjoyed reading the series but this book just fell flat for me. I have found myself scheming over parts because it became redundant and overly explained. The action was non-existent and the suspense was building but Emily's constant whining became annoying. I really do love this series just really fell flat for me but I will still read the next book.

Most of the story in the Gordian Knot wraps up in this book (that is, Emily barely survives [as always] but is still waiting to face the consequences from events which transpired in this book) when Gordian Knot ends in a cliffhanger. So, of course, there must be one more book but, alas, it is the final book in the series.
Like Harry Potter at Hogwarts, Emily has deadly enemies (in her case, enemies made as a result of all of the changes/technology she has introduced over the years to the Nameless World).
Gordian Knot covers Emily's Sixth Year at Whitehall. (Most students leave after Fourth Year but Emily needs as much magical training as she can get to survive in the Nameless World.)
She's named Head Girl (an honor/responsibility she never sought) and beyond finding time to carry out Head Girl duties, she has to try to keep up in her own Sixth Year classes as well as carry out her Head Girl special project, the dueling club Grandmaster Gordian wants because Whitehall is the only wizard academy which does not participate in the inter-school student wizard dueling league. (The previous Grandmaster had never allowed dueling at Whitehall but times change and there is a new Grandmaster now.)
I have really enjoyed this Schooled in Magic series. I definitely recommend Gordian Knot to readers of this series if you enjoy a well-written story about a sixteen-year-old girl plucked from Earth (yes, OUR world) and sent to wizard school to learn how to use her magic (which, of course she never had had while on Earth) to survive on a whole other planet (the Nameless World) far far away from all she had previously known!

Another great book, love reading these books, grateful for the limited adult sexual content. I also thought it was great how there wasn't a MASSIVE Foe to overcome this time, Author does a great job of keeping the interest up, throwing in more secrets and intrigue along with building upon the story and world that Emily is in. In this book it was more of a subtle foe, but Emily pervades again and saves the day! I also like how there are unexplored areas and the world is still massive and seems like there is still a lot to uncover, like more about the Nexus points and also the 3rd continent, whats over there???
The one thing that keeps bugging me is the cursing that goes on in these books, why would there be the same curse words that Earth has?? Just doesn't make sense. Always a good sign in Fantasy books when the Author makes up their own curse words, just seems more legitimate that way. Just thoughts for future Mr. Nuttall :)
these books still remain interesting and keep the desire to read more even at book 14 that I just started!

Has Emily grown? I'm not so sure. Is Freda still annoying? Very much so. What happened to Caleb - why is he suddenly more assertive?
A lot about what is laid out in this book is confusing to me. I come into a book expecting plot lines to be laid out and some of it tied up. If the plot line is not resolved immediately I expect to be rewarded for my patience by it resolving within the next few books. But I feel like I've been waiting 12 whole books to see some things from the first one only barely mentioned again and then be left without any resolution. This book lays out more plot than resolves it. I don't know if I'm interested in continuing if there isn't going to be a 'reward'. Why would you want to continue doing something that'll just cause you so much dissatisfaction?

Another excellent installment in this engaging series, an ongoing favorite of mine. This book moves things forward, not so much in terms of outward action as with Emily's emotional and relational development. I found it riveting, so much so that I stayed up far too late to finish it last night, because I simply couldn't put it down. Now I'm on the edge of my seat awaiting the next book, especially since this one ended on something of a "cliffhanger." Thankfully, Book 14 is due within the next month or so. Excellent reading (but this series is not for children or the younger Harry Potter crowd).
October 30, 2017
I love this whole series. Am literally grinding my teeth at the wait for the next book in series as this one ended in such a cliff hanger. I was glad that the love interest was finally dealt with as the character was just not growing on me. Mr Nuttall is pretty good about getting books out in a timely manner so I won't get to upset with him for getting me addicted to this series. The main character continues to grow and though the enemies are still not clearly black and white keeping you guessing the lines of those loyal are being solidly shown.

I am really loving this series more and more - I know some folks are criticizing for slowness, but look at the number of books, Christopher Nuttall is taking the time to develop one of the most detailed systems of magic I have ever read and I for one appreciate it. Not only that but his books are real page turners.
While I appreciate the explanation at the end and appreciate the quick writing of the next in the series I had to deduct one star for the cliff hanger, sorry.
Please keep 'em coming, can't wait to see what happens next

Year 6 at Whitehaven and Emily is the new Head Girl, which comes with a great deal more work. And the work is made worse because someone is out to get her.
Solid character work and a well-paced and interesting plot. Very little in the way of world building.
This would be an easy 4-star book, except that it ends in the worst sort of cliffhanger, stopping in the middle of a conversation. For which it gets a 1-star penalty.
The series was slow at the start but has grown well. The series is recommended, but I can't really recommend something sold as a book but that is only half a book.

A quick read, the pages almost turn themselves. Though compared to previous books in the series this was not the best. Also the cliffhanger at the end was a bit annoying.
Emily seems to have regressed a bit in maturity and complains a bit more than usual. Maybe it is because most of her support circle from previous book were not present. So many things happened it the past so maybe this book tries to warp things up so the story can move forward. At times I felt like it was moving forward in time too fast not letting me catch my breath.
I'm looking forward to reading the next book.

Th Gordian Knot (Schooled in Magic Book 13) Review
Dear Christopher, although I have enjoyed this series very much you have gone too far using the F word way too much and sexual innuendo, if not, outright filth. So you have lost much esteem in my eyes. It is really to bad that you felt you had to degrade yourself to sell books. I used to recommend your books to anyone interested in reading great story but now I am only recommending this book for adults only.

Overall love the series...I am not sure why I care so much about Emily, as I would not like to know her--she seems so lacking in empathy and just so cross and angry all the time. But I really hate the headmaster. I also hated Freda but that is explained later on.
The cliffhanger was surprising.
The book was really stressful--yet I still care very much for the overall series. I gave it four stars because it is such a compelling read.

I really enjoy the series. However, The Gordian Knot is the weakest book thus far. Very plodding pace, Emily is even more excessively introspective than usual, and there is almost no action of which to speak. It seems the whole book is a “set up” for the sequel. It was not an interesting set up. Final thought, Emily is one tough BA by this point. She needs to act it.
I feel bad giving The Gordian Knot only 3 stars, but it probably deserves 2. Yet, I am looking forward to the sequel.

Feels like the story has stalled
I thought I this series was one of my favorite, but I begin to suspect that it was my hope for its potential that so much appeal. I am not seeing that potential come to pass.
I would recommend avoiding series unless you can read the first four or five and be happy stopping there.

And yet another great time with our friends in Whitehall.
Christopher G Nuttall just keeps pumping out fantastic content at a blistering pace. This latest installment in the schooled in magic series is just the latest in his repertoire. With great character building and amazing magical combat mixed with mystery this book was a hit from the day he outlined it.

Anyone else notice CNG likes to use "it was hard, so hard" in this series? I like to play a game and guess which chapter it shows up. I haven't read all of his series, but there seems to always be a sentence with that structure somewhere. In Whirlwind, it's "it was easy, too easy". I forget what it was, but Learning Experience is that too.

Head girl! more like headache.
As Emily throws herself into a role she doesn't want, trouble is brewing.
Another wonderfully written story.
I'm starting to get worried though, there are currently only 19 book in this series. I don't want to wait months or years for the series to end. but will it end in book 19?

I've waited over 2 years for this to appear in paperback. I already owned the previous 12 volumes and I was not going to spoil the set by changing to eBook format. Now it seems I may have to wait a few more years before I can read the sequel.
This book had a slow start, but I guess it was necessary to make the rest of it believable. The twist on the final sentence is a real cliffhanger.
