Julia had the most amazing character development in this story and she is really what made this book outstanding. It is very clear that a if there is one thing that all of the magic users in this book have is ambition and their mental health issues. Magic can really screw you over and that seems to be the ongoing theme in this world. Quentin isn’t nearly as depressed as he was at the beginning of the first book and he’s become more self aware of his bad decisions, but his ambition keeps getting him transported into different worlds and into trouble. Julia is acting quite strange and no one really knows what happened to her in the time that everyone else was in Brakebills. We slowly find out more and more and her story ends up being both amazing and tragic. It also strongly reflects the loss Quentin had by the end of the first book. Furthermore, it reflects how Julia has grown as a person. I’m assuming we’ll be seeing Quentin grow more and learn from the consequences of his actions. I’m sure we haven’t seen the last of Julia either. I’m looking forward to it.
