The Magicians Original Graphic Novel: Alice's Story by Lev Grossman, Lilah Sturges

1.0

Alice is a teenager with magical abilities. Soon she becomes one of the students of Brakebills College for Magical Pedagogy. She is one of the top students in her class together with the other two boys Penny and Quentin. Together they become friends and as they spend more time together they got closer. Everything changes when love is being involved and Alice chooses one of them. They went separate ways and the friendship didn't exist anymore.

Everything changes after graduation when all three of them meets again in unlucky circumstances. They found their way to the hidden world named Fillory that until this time was known only as a fiction world inside the book.

The story has two parts: at school and after graduation. First, of them, I liked and enjoyed more than the other. The story was very interesting but the characters were a little bit too naive and a hypocrite. I tried to understand what lead them to make their decisions but most of the time I couldn't. It's not a bad thing though because it made it real. They are young and they don't actually know what they want from life. They don't want to stuck in one place but also they are afraid of changes.
