Hi, reading this thread has been fascinating for me because last year I, too, became obsessed with getting a copy of The Magicians and reading it. I "looked inside" the cover on Amazon and thought it would be my kind of Fantasy story.
Once I started reading the book, however, I felt the pace was terribly slow and I couldn't identify with or empathise with any of the characters. I later discovered that it was written as a kind of cynical anti-Narnia book. Maybe that was my problem?
