I'm really conflicted with how to rate this book. There were some sections I liked. The beginning was good, and then it jumps forward in time so much it was hard to make any connection with the characters. There was a few lulls in the book that I found myself bored. When they go to the fictional world the story picked up again, but then soon died after the fighting stopped. The very end saved the book enough that I might continue with the other 2 books. Hopefully they are a lot better.

Fillory is a pretty flimsy Narnia knock-off, but the structure of this magical world is unique and interesting. It forces the reader to think about this: what is your purpose in the world if you have unlimited magical power?
5 might be quite generous for me on this book
But I found it really enlightening
People call it the "Adult Harry Potter"
Well it's more like the adult Narnia for witches really
Definitely enjoyable and a thinker (which is always good) I'd recommend it ...more

A cheap knock off that blatantly copies far superior fantasy novels.
