The Magicians: Alice's Story by Pius Bak, Lev Grossman, Lilah Sturges
2.0
I was so excited about this book, because it sounded right up my alley. But then, by the time they leave school, it's like it becomes too real: students that finish university, particularly those who enjoyed classes and did well in them not doing well afterwards, becoming depressed, living their dreams and having them turn out to be a huge let down...
But the big problem I have with this book, is that the "hero" of the piece is a coward who puts so little effort in... And doesn't actually do anything. The women in his life, however, are brilliant, self-sacrificing and brave, always pulling his ass out of the fire, and yet keep praising him and telling him they couldn't have done it without him. It's upsetting.
