Really? Was that ending really necessary? Other than that it's easy to see where Lev Grossman got his inspiration for The Magicians.

amych's review against another edition
2.5
The novel had a good idea but it was poorly executed. The characters of the five were quite flat and lacked meaningful depth. In particular, Jen was a completely 2d character who only existed to be raped and violently tortured at the end. Horrific and graphic as it was, because she had no personality I found myself not caring much. And why did the five not seem surprised about being whisked to another world, but just accepted the new status quo with almost no questions?
If this book had had less violence against women, which seemed to serve no purpose to the plot other than being torture porn, I would have rated it higher.
