Carmen’s Reviews > The Magicians > Status Update

This first half's slice-of-life approach is interesting, I kept expecting to encounter a dramatic "and now we must save the world" situation like in most magical media. It's a bit mundane, reflecting Quentin's worldview, more so when Eliot and co. graduate (it's all in the characters). I do enjoy how the magic is complex and requires extremely intense study to reach intuitive use.
