The Magicians: Alice's Story by Pius Bak, Lev Grossman, Lilah Sturges

3.0

It seems like people either love this book or hate it, and I didn't really fall into either camp. I like it - it's a solid tale that borrows heavily from Hogwarts and Narnia while still being original enough. Quentin, to me, is actually a fairly relatable character. I'm not depressed and have always been content with my life, but the message that getting everything you ever wanted doesn't make things magically better is more realistic than many fantasy stories. I wasn't planning to continue the series, but the ending piqued my interest just enough that I think I will.
