![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() While I didn’t learn much about Alice or her magical friends that I didn’t already know I did love the glimpses into her childhood, particularly the brief interaction between her and her older brother, Charlie, before he left home to attend Brakebills. If this is your introduction to Brakebills and Fillory then it may pique your interest but you may not connect with some of the magicians, including Janet, Josh or Eliot, as their personalities don’t have much of a chance to shine in this format. If you’re a fan of the trilogy, the TV series or both, then I’m almost positive you’ll love this graphic novel. I loved Alice’s arc in the TV series and hope to get to know her even better once I’ve read the trilogy. This graphic novel is based on the first book in the trilogy and it’s told from the perspective of one of my favourite characters, Alice. It’s been on my ‘I must remedy this egregious error immediately’ list for too long already but at least I’ve binge watched the TV series so I haven’t missed out entirely. The only problem is that the best intentions in the world have so far only extended far enough to buying the trilogy, not actually reading it. I’m a tad obsessed with Lev Grossman’s The Magicians. One thing you learn about magic is that just when you think you know what it’s all about … it finds a way to surprise you. ![]()
