Return to Fillory in the riveting sequel to the New York Times bestseller and literary phenomenon, The Magicians
Quentin Coldwater should be happy. He escaped a miserable Brooklyn childhood, matriculated at a secret college for magic, and graduated to discover that Fillory--a fictional utopia--was actually real. But even as a Fillorian king, Quentin finds little peace. His old restlessness returns, and he longs for the thrills a heroic quest can bring.
Accompanied by his oldest friend, Julia, Quentin sets off--only to somehow wind up back in the real world and not in Fillory, as they'd hoped. As the pair struggle to find their way back to their lost kingdom, Quentin is forced to rely on Julia's illicitly-learned sorcery as they face a sinister threat in a world very far from the beloved fantasy novels of their youth.

Equal parts Catcher in the Rye and The Chronicles of Narnia
Keri C. - 8 years 2 months agoIn the sequel to Lev Grossman's best-selling The Magicians, Quentin Coldwater and his magician comrades are ruling the magical world of Fillory. However, with Quentin never being satisfied with what he has, he longs for adventure and goes on a search for one of Fillory's mystical Questing Beasts. When he eventually catches up to one, though, its quest is even more than he was bargaining for: magic as they know it is about to run out, unless Quentin can find the seven golden keys and wind up the world. Quentin and his friends - Eliot, Janet and Julia - are as wonderfully unlikeable as ever, and their adventures feel so different than traditional fantasy fare. There is no ultimate baddie that needs to be conquered, and the magic in this world is so complex and deep that you can't help but think, "Yeah, that's exactly how magic SHOULD be." The Magicians series is a wonderful alternative to those who are tired of epic fantasy and want their wizards more grounded in reality.
