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

3.0

This book has so much good in it, so much that I liked and enjoyed but it also took me forever to read. I felt the author and the novel fighting each other all the way along. The relentlessness of the pessimism, the need to present the negative/realistic version of every conceivable fantasy trope got in the way of what was essentially a very good story.
