I’m looking for something that can pull me in the way The Magicians by Lev Grossman did. Julia is my favorite character, kind of broody, once her mind is set on something she’ll stop at nothing to get it. She dives deep into the ins and outs of magic, parses it, and is able to make spells to fit the situation on demand, because she understands the underlying theories. Her storyline is tragic, yet hopeful, with plenty of ups and downs. She doesn’t mind getting her hands dirty if she has to, and can solve almost any problem you throw at her. I want a book that follows a character like that, ambitious, nerdy, full spectrum of human emotions, obsessive and resilient. A fairly complex magic system is also a plus.
