shanajade 's review for:

The Magicians by Lev Grossman
3.5

Ummmm, I dont know about all those quotes, but... this WAS good. I kind of wish it included more of their classes and lessons... more about the magic. This book encompasses his entire school career and then some with a lot of their personal depressed, unhappy drama playing out throughout. When there WAS action, it was good action, though. The story was like an attempt at combining Harry Potter and The Chronicles of Narnia for adults instead of children. 

There WERE a lot of funny moments, but they were a bunch of depressed alcoholics, so bear that in mind. 

I'm definitely interested enough to continue the series, but they all were getting in my nerves a little with their constant "woe is me".
