A review by catiew
The Magicians by Lev Grossman
3.0
I feel like this book can be summed up in three points
1. Every single character is a terrible person
2. It features a scene where everybody is turned into Arctic foxes and then have sex with each other (as Arctic foxes)
3. I'm completely unclear as to whether this is satire of or homage to the "classics" of high fantasy
I'm glad I didn't buy this one - I borrowed it from the library. And despite my major misgivings about some of what happens, I might read the sequels - but again, I'll be borrowing them from the library. I recommend it if you want to think "wtf?" at the end of every chapter.
