The Magicians

Wrote a review for

The blurbs all say it's "Narnia/Harry Potter but more adult". It's definitely derivative, but only "grown up" in that the characters are mopier and preoccupied with sex.

The most redeeming/fascinating plot point that the blurbs miss is that this isn't Narnia, it's a world where the Narnia *and the Narnia books* exist, which is way more interesting. The self reference has the potential to be very neat, but the focus ends up being more on the entitled main characters and who they're sleeping with.
