The new class starts here! Long after Quentin and his friends have graduated from Brakebills College for Magical Pedagogy, Dean Fogg invites a historic new group of students to enroll- the first ever class of hedge magicians, rogue practitioners of unsanctioned magic. But the traditional magicians aren't too thrilled to have the rule-breaking outcasts in their hallowed halls, and tempers flare as the student bodies clash to prove their superiority - not realizing a new danger has emerged to threaten them all. The malevolence behind the threat at Brakebills will rock everyone to their cores - and even shock longtime fans of The Magicians! New York Times bestselling series creator Lev Grossman returns with an all-new story in the world of The Magicians with award-winning writer Lilah Sturges (The Magicians: Alice's Story) and rising star artist Pius Bak that features the first appearance of the next generation of heroes and villains.

If you fall into that category (I can't imagine there are many of us) this might not be the right choice for you.
The characters that carry over into this story are the versions from the books, not the show. Dean Fogg will be a jarring change if you are used to the television version.
The story on the whole was actually pretty good. There were a couple twists that felt very magicians-ish. And enough that I'd like to know where it goes. As long as I can get it from the library.
And there's a piece of the graphic novel I'm having a hard time putting to words. It was both interesting and bothersome. I'm still rolling it around in my head a bit, so first off and foremost, I apologize if anything I say is offensive. Like I said, I'm still rolling this around in my head a bit, and my own thoughts have not solidified yet.
It's the inclusion in the story. I'm to a point in my life and especially in my consumption of fiction that the lack of inclusion/diversity stands out to me and diminishes my enjoyment of the experience.
It's who I am, it's where I live, it's what I read, it's what I love.
But......
This story felt like it was checking off boxes rather than feeling natural.
Case in point. The trans character frequently reminds us that they are trans. Even wears a t-shirt announcing they are trans. And there was this one panel that bothered me. I stopped cold on it and it took a bit for me to figure out why it bugged me. It's all of the characters walking down a hallway. I didn't notice it at first, but the male characters were drawn with a very specific leg position, and the females with a distinctly different leg position. The trans character was drawn with the male leg position. Why did that bug me so much? I don't know. Should it have? I don't know? I'd be curious to know if other people noticed and what you all think.
There was something we watched recently, I cant' remember what it was now. Recent in pandemic times might be the past month of the past 3 years anyway... Where there was a trans character that was never identified as trans in the show. It wasn't hidden, it wasn't a secret. It just wasn't called out every 10 minutes. We weren't reminded every 10 minutes lest we forget. And it wasn't literally written on a t-shirt.
That's harsh. Am i being too harsh? I think i'd rather have fumbled inclusion than no inclusion. Right? I honestly don't know. Still mulling it over. ( )
