Hi All

Few books I have read

Sufficiently Advanced Magic

Pokémon Origin of Species ( the setting where young kids learn and apply )

> The Magicians is a rational-ish take on magic school. Magic is *very* difficult and *very* dangerous, and all the students and professors have mental issues. There are two sequels which drift away from the magic school aspect, because they've all graduated.

>> I read the first book but stopped after that because of the irritating protagonist Quentin, liked the TV show though

>>> Honestly, he gets even worse in books 2 and 3. There are very few characters in these books who are genuinely good people that I wouldn't mind hanging out with. I like the books despite all that - the trilogy feels pretty real.
