Book Review of The Magicians (Magicians, Bk 1)

The Magicians (Magicians, Bk 1)
reviewed on + 3 more book reviews


It is a bit of a mash up pf Harry Potter and Chronicles of Narnia. What makes it interesting is the author trying to put the Gen Y/Z into the mix. Hook ups, drug use, and emotionally lost, the protagonists try to find their purpose in life. They learn it is never as cut and dry as the fairy tales allude to. Their uncertain journey makes for an engaging experience that I had a hard time putting down. I was disappointed, angry, frustrated, and hopeful, and I found it easy to relate too.
