In a way. It's a fantasy world created by two gods who just wanted to see what would happen - one in particular was fond of chaos. So the people of Fillory got chaos, we had no real choice over our roles, everyone hates me and I can't blame them. They liked me when I taught them what fertilizer was, but now we're being manipulated by the Fairy Queen and they don't know it, so.
That was all ridiculously depressing to type out, my apologies.
