Journal Entry 1 by ravencat from Lancaster, New York USA on Friday, October 9, 2015
Quentin Coldwater is brilliant but miserable. A high school math genius, he's secretly fascinated with a series of children's fantasy novels set in a magical land called Fillory, and real life is disappointing by comparison. When Quentin is unexpectedly admitted to an elite, secret college of magic, it looks like his wildest dreams may have come true. But his new found powers lead him down a rabbit hole of hedonism and disillusionment, and ultimately to the dark secret behind the story of Fillory. The land of his childhood fantasies turns out to be much darker and more dangerous than he ever could imagined...

selecting this one from the M package. This is right up my alley. I will take to BookClub and see if anyone is interested in it as next month's read.

I got this book straight from my mailman today, delivered to my home door. It's my pick from First Sentence VBB, and it looks just like something I might have picked up after reading the back cover. Thanks BooksnBeer!

I was warned before reading that the characters in this first volume are flat but I wasn't ready for everything else that came with the book. I think I was expecting something more original but got only a copy of Narnia for young adults. I'm not a fan of Narnia, so this was slightly disappointing. Anyway, I won't judge a whole series by the first volume, so if the second one comes my way, I might read it. But I won't actively look for it.
