kamilamel92 's review for:

The Magicians by Lev Grossman
2.0

When reading the introduction I was fascinated to ready to dive in. The first part of the novel, I enjoyed the magical system and loved how contemporary it was. But, it really fall out for me in the other half of the book. I feel that the author has a condescending tone all the time, even during the very boring action scenes. Quentin is insufferable and couldn’t take it anymore towards the end, give me a break man and get over yourself! I couldn’t connect with any of the characters, their personalities are not intriguing whatsoever. I felt that they where lacking charm

I might have gone in to the novel with expectations and came out unsatisfied. I really wanted to love this trilogy, but I probably would have enjoyed if the characters had more personality.
