Title: To Best the Boys

Author: Mary Weber
Publisher:  Thomas Nelson
Published: March 5, 2019
Pages: 352
Genres: Young Adult, Fantasy

Every year for the past fifty-four years, the residents of Pinsbury Port receive a mysterious letter inviting all eligible-aged boys to compete for an esteemed scholarship to the all-male Stemwick University. Every year, the poorer residents look to see that their names are on the list. The wealthier look to see how likely their sons are to survive. And Rhen Tellur opens it to see if she can derive which substances the ink and parchment are created from, using her father’s microscope.

In the province of Caldon, where women are trained in wifely duties and men are encouraged into collegiate education, sixteen-year-old Rhen Tellur wants nothing more than to become a scientist. As the poor of her seaside town fall prey to a deadly disease, she and her father work desperately to find a cure. But when her Mum succumbs to it as well? Rhen decides to take the future into her own hands—through the annual all-male scholarship competition.

With her cousin, Seleni, by her side, the girls don disguises and enter Mr. Holm’s labyrinth, to best the boys and claim the scholarship prize. Except not everyone’s ready for a girl who doesn’t know her place. And not everyone survives the maze.

Thoughts

This book sounds so incredible to me! I actually have an ARC of this that I need to get to ASAP. I really enjoyed Weber's Storm Siren series and though I haven't read The Evaporations of Sofi Snow series, I think it sounds good also!

SO MANY rereads right now! =P

I am actually reading these to my husband right now. A new hobby of mine is reading some of my favorite books to my husband so that he can discuss them with me afterward.
