I always feel so accomplished when I’ve actually read all three books you recommend 😆
I had suuuuch mixed feelings about The Magicians. I really liked the world, a lot of the ideas, the writing, etc. but I had such a hard time with the main protagonists. I’m all for flawed leads that need the grow, but him and his group of friends (minus Hermoine) drove me f’ing nuts. I think it was their entitlement? It’s been so many years, but my disdain was strong enough that I never read the rest of the series.
Naomi4eva, loves this take on a magical school.
Vita Nostra was so fantastic and also yes probably the most stressful fiction I’ve ever read. I want to read the sequel but I would need to reread the first and I just don’t know if I have it in me?!? I still think about the ending regularly (and am flabbergasted).
