The Magician King by Lev Grossman.. Could be time to retreat from all this into a big fat fantasy, and who could blame you for choosing one for grown-ups? Fine workmanship, captivating characters: Potteresque. – Joel Gardner, LitSnap Editor |

"Fabulous fantasy spiked with bitter adult wisdom-not to be missed." – Kirkus Reviews "Lev Grossman’s The Magician King is a fresh take on the fantasy-quest novel—dark, austere, featuring characters with considerable psychological complexity, a collection of idiosyncratic talking animals (a sloth who knows the path to the underworld, a dragon in the Grand Canal), and splendid set pieces in Venice, Provence, Cornwall, and Brooklyn." – The Daily Beast |
