Denise Pompeu denisepompeu — Loved it! Bushman does a great job telling a story, and the cultural details about Mormonism are fantastic. He's got a fine line to walk as a historian who is also a devout Mormon and does a great job showing that faith and history can mix well.

君 不見 fanyukai173775da — I continue to be wowed by the wit and intelligence in this series. The characters are so well developed psychologically and emotionally, with real flaws, that it actually hurts me when things go wrong. And they do go spectacularly wrong. The characters may be kick-ass magicians but they're up against bigger stuff than that. I would have given this book five stars if it hadn't taken me awhile to settle into the story. That could have been my own preoccupation with life (that's one of those variables that's hard to quantify) or it could be the story was slow to hook me. I felt a little distracted at first with the two POV characters, but, as the story progressed the importance of those two storylines became enormous. These characters grow in deep, meaningful ways. As with the first book, The Magicians, the writing is fresh and packs a punch, often with wry humor, especially Quentin's voice. I love the way Grossman weaves science, magic, everyday modern life into the way the magicians function. And often he does it in a way that makes me laugh out loud. When one magician elegantly moves them through a portal from Italy to a park in a small town in England, Grossman writes: This kind of precision over that much distance hadn't been possible even a few years ago, but Google Street View was an absolute boon to the art and craft of creating long-distance portals. And here's a hilarious comment from Julia's POV: They pushed on into astrology and ocean magic and even oneiromancy--dream magic. Turns out you can cast some truly amazing shit in your dreams. But after you wake up it all seems kind of pointless, and nobody really wants to hear about it. And finally, I'll end this review with one more snippet--a description that is so fresh and funny, I'm still smiling: The tide was out, and the sea was not so much calm as limp. Every few minutes it worked up enough energy for a wave that rose up half a foot and then flopped onto the strand with a startling smack, as if to remind everyone that it was still there.
