I have both Uprooted and Spinning Silver and haven't read them yet! Arrgh, there is so much more to read, or really, I have so much less time than I used to. Or it feels like that anyway.
I also found that character hilarious, especially how everyone kept giving him credit for the things El was actually doing and El would be like >:-( and nobody would get why. I frankly wasn't as big a fan of the love story, and her girlfriends seemed much more supportive and perceptive. And it turns out his supposed altruism is actually making his enclave a darker thing! WHOOPSIE.
Worldbuilding would be a perf choice for this canon. Something from the School's point of view, or earlier students, or a Songbirds-type prequel with the people who set it all up, because while the setup did work better than the HG worldbuilding, it still has that vampire problem (if x people become vampires how will they have enough to eat?).
