The Magicians: Alice's Story by Pius Bak, Lev Grossman, Lilah Sturges
2.0
Confession time. I never liked Narnia. Books are boring and pompous. Might have been that I was too old when I tried to read them right before the first movie came out. But I tried only to realize they are just not for me.
I had no idea that this book would be Narnia all over again. Narnia for adults with drugs, sex and violence.
I had no connection to the main character. Talk about a flat character. He never learned a damn thing throughout all the trial and tribulations of being a human in Narnia. I understand the whole premise of spoiled kids finding themselves in a hostile world, but it is only effective if the characters learn something out of it. And the only people who did, died.
Not sure what the big deal about this book is. If this is adult fare pretending it's YA - I'll stick to the original, thanks.
