What to expect
Meet Quentin Coldwater, king of the bizarre and wonderful land of Fillory. But he is getting restless, even in heaven a man needs a little adventure. So when a steward is murdered on a morning's hunt Quentin gets exactly that. But this quest is like no other. What starts as a glorified cruise to faraway lands soon becomes the stuff of nightmares...
The Magician King is a grand voyage into the dark, glittering heart of magic, an extraordinary journey that allows the imagination to run riot and proves Grossman is the modern heir to C.S. Lewis.
This is a book like no other.
Critics Review
The best fantasy trilogy of the decade.
Lev Grossman has conjured a rare creature: a trilogy that simply gets better and better as it goes along… Literary perfection.
Lev Grossman’s novel is full of magic … stupendous urban fantasy … The Magician King is Harry Potter for grown-ups who have learned to hate Harry Potter
The most entertaining and compelling fantasy I’ve read in a long time.
A story about extraordinary deeds, heroism, magic and love — all the stuff that makes escapism go. It’s a fantastic trick that makes this into a book that entertains and disturbs at the same time
