Quentin Coldwater is unlikeable as a main character again in book 2 of 3. The world is magical and complicated.

The Magician King is so much better than The Magicians! I actually enjoyed Quentin's voice and perspective and being able to finally see him grow as a character. I also enjoyed the change in POV and time between Julia in the past & Quentin in the present. I missed Eliot in the beginning but glad he comes into the story as well! The characters are enjoyable and complex-- especially Julia. I also appreciated Grossman's writing style more in this book and liked when he got more lighthearted and funny, but there was still some foul language that I found unnecessary.
