The Magicians
by Lev Grossman
It’s difficult to not treat this book as an edgy take on Harry Potter when it makes that parallel at every possible turn. I enjoyed the take on magic, the complex linguistics, tertiary elements and factors, the hard work it would take to perfect. But I found the characters vapid and the use of magic uninteresting when it should be exciting. The scene where the beast shows up was great, but the book lost me at snow fox sex.
