Read my first book, The Magicians by Lev Grossman. The first half of the book is like if Brett Easton Ellis wrote Harry Potter in the mid 2000's The second half kind of felt like Dresden Files if Harry Dresden was a grumpy piece of poo poo stuck in the fairy realms It was trying to do a lot of things and say some other things while meandering all over the place, despite this, I enjoyed it and the gradual discovery of The Magicians world.

nerdpony posted:I mostly enjoyed the first and wasn't too into the second, but the third book in the series I actually really liked. It's probably worth powering through. I don't know how keen I am to be putting up with sadsack protagonist Q but I'm going to power on anyway
