I mean, you’re reading about young adults going to a magic school, so their dynamic is quite similar to that of the average young adult. The book has got a lot of hilarious stuff (dialogue, events, interactions, etc) woven throughout. But their journey turns out to be darker and more dangerous than they'd imagined.įumbling magicians, crude college life, and an unexpected fantasy adventure What went right:ġ. After graduation, he and his friends stumble upon a secret that sets them on a remarkable journey that may just fulfill Quentin's yearning. But magic doesn't bring the happiness and adventure Quentin thought it would. There he indulges in joys of college-friendship, love, sex, and booze- and receives a rigorous education in modern sorcery. Like everyone else, precocious high school senior Quentin Coldwater assumes that magic isn't real, until he finds himself admitted to a very secretive and exclusive college of magic in upstate New York. My husband read the entire trilogy, loved it, and has been harassing me to pick it up, so I finally did! While I really enjoyed the first half, I got a bit confused by the second half (I blame the audiobook, which I’ll explain further on), but overall, I quite enjoyed this edgy novel about magicians.īuy on Amazon, Buy on Barnes & Noble, Buy from The Book Depository Many of you have heard of The Magicians by Lev Grossman now that it has been made into a television show.
