The Magicians

I liked this. I don't have much to say about it, other than that; it was a quick, fun read, a nice take-off on the wizarding school experience that became so popular after Harry Potter exploded (though Diana Wynne Jones did it first!). The setting was great - I especially enjoyed the construction of magic, and how it was much more difficult than “waving a wand around” (very sly, Mr. Grossman) - and the characters were quirky and fun, if a bit awkward teenager-cum-early twenties nihilist. So yeah; pretty fun, I'd recommend it if you were looking for something light to read, but nothing to chew on or really love.
