The main adventure/quest plot left something to be desired for me but I enjoyed most of the subplots and characters introduced.
The Magician King picks up with characters we thought may have been abandoned for good in the last book, and we’re offered Julia’s point-of-view starting from when she was first introduced which I loved.
Again, the characters and themes definitely carried this book for me a lot more than the plot!
