The Magicians: Alice's Story by Pius Bak, Lev Grossman, Lilah Sturges
2.0
Full disclosure: I received an ARC of this from the publisher.
This is a retelling of The Magicians from Alice's perspective, in a graphic novel format. It doesn't add anything new, and because Alice is such an outsider looking in, she doesn't even feel like she's at the center of the action. There's nothing surprising here to someone who has read the novel. I suppose if you found the novel difficult to read because the characters are generally unlikable but you want to know what happens, you could read this instead. Had this covered more of Alice's childhood orher time as a niffin, it would have been more worthwhile.
It's not bad, but I don't think this really adds much to the Magicians universe.
