pludecker 's review for:
The Magicians
by Lev Grossman
If you want to read this book because you like the tv series, probably don't. There are some things that were skimmed over in the first season that the book clarifies but this is a case where I think the adaptation really improved the story overall. The show is fun and magical with a loveable cast of complicated characters with their own desires and motivations while the book is a slow march through several years of watching Quentin drift aimlessly, hoping that the next thing he stumbles into will cure his perpetual dissatisfaction and his life will finally begin. I don't think it's a bad book necessarily, but if you're craving more from the show I'd suggest some fanfiction instead. (And if you haven't seen the show, go watch it!)
