The Magician King

Quentin and his friends are now the kings and queens of the magical land of Fillory. But he finds himself growing restless. So when a mystery at the heart of the kingdom is uncovered, Quentin and his old friend Julia charter a sailing ship and set off to the wild outer reaches. But their voyage will take them much further than they imagined and leave them with a choice that could have devastating consequences - for Fillory and for magic itself. Praise for The Magicians Trilogy 'The best fantasy trilogy of the decade.' Charles Stross 'The most entertaining and compelling fantasy I've read in a long time.' The Times 'Lev Grossman has conjured a rare creature: a trilogy that simply gets better and better as it goes along... Literary perfection.' Erin Morgenstern 'May just be the most subversive, gripping, and enchanting fantasy novel I've read this century.' Cory Doctorow 'Dark and dangerous and full of twists. Hogwarts was never like this.' George R. R. Martin 'Sad, hilarious, beautiful, and essential to anyone who cares about modern fantasy.' Joe Hill 'A darkly cunning story about the power of imagination itself.' The New Yorker ' The Magicians ought to be required reading... a terrific, at times almost painfully perceptive novel of the fantastic.' Kelly Link 'Brilliantly explores the hidden underbelly of fantasy and easy magic, taking what's simple on the surface and turning it over to show us the complicated writhing mess beneath.' Naomi Novik
