A mix between Harry Potter and the Chronicles of Narnia, this story doesn't lack in magic, however raw and cynical it appears to be in the book. The characters could be more developed, and the plot weakens in a couple of spots, but overall, I think this is a good read. It lacks the fluff and faerie dust of most other fantasy novels, but it was refreshing because of it. I think everyone can relate to the longing Quentin feels to find his "place" in this world or another.
