I just finished Lev Grossman's The Magicians. It is truly an engrossing read! This book chronicles the journey of Quentin Coldwater as he is inducted into a secret world of magic.Just when Quentin thinks he has to give up his childish inclinations and go to college he is accepted into a university for magicians.
Paying homage to all the fantasy we read as children (from Tolkien, to Rowling, and even Lewis), Grossman explores what it means to be able to do whatever one wants and what happens when fantasy becomes all too real.
Grossman writes a suspenseful buildingsroman that will appeal to even those who are not familiar with children's fantasy!
Plus cool things to explore on the author website!
