I’m re-watching The Magicians with my wife, since she’s never seen it. It’s been long enough since I watched it last that I don’t remember a lot of things that happened, so there’s a lot of “I forgot got that!” moments for me, which is fun.

I wish I was a reader. I feel like I’d enjoy the books.
I don’t usually give up on books, and it’s been a long time so it’s foggy, but my impression was that it was trying too hard to be harry potter/Narnia but adult! And edgy! And I couldn’t stand Quentin or really any of the characters. I only know one other person that’s experienced both and he also gave up on the book series.
Sometimes I am curious to try the books again now, but the show is so good I’d rather just rewatch it!
Ah, thanks for the heads up on the book. It might ruin the show for me then if I tried reading it.
I replied to the person above to brain dump my love for the audiobooks. I can see where the first half of the first book could be a slog to actually read, but the audiobooks are really quite amazing IMO. Highly recommend trying it out.
Audiobooks have really helped me.
