Memo Elhawary1 memoelhawry1 — I started this book, both somewhat hesitantly and with anticipation. With anticipation because the scuttlebutt is that it's a pretty good, adult fantasy ("'Harry Potter' for adults" as one review put it), and hesitantly because hype rarely leads up to match the product. For the most part, I really liked this book. At times the Harry Potter similarities were almost too much to bear, and each time I felt that, it seems the author or his editor must have felt it too, and something changed. **POSSIBLE SPOILERS!!!** I like that the main character's (Quentin's) entire schooling is taken care of in the first half of the book. We get the few important moments ... those things that will define him as he matures and faces his battles. We don't get a lot of extras ... those things that are 'cool' but not essential to the story. The time spent with our reluctant heroes during their times after graduation gets dull and monotonous to the reader as well as to the characters. Of course it leads to the most destructive path in Quentin's life, but it is a struggle to read. Life in their alternate world is interesting and the climactic battle had me turning pages with heightened interest. But the clear similarities to C.S. Lewis' Narnia characters was more distraction than clever. I liked the philosophical edge the characters had, particularly in reflection to all that had happened to them, and I liked both the parting of ways and the reunion. Overall, a wonderful fantasy, despite some slow moments.
