About the Book

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.

Review :
""The Catcher in the Rye" for devotees of alternative universes. It's dazzling . . . A rare, strange, and scintillating novel."---Julia Keller, Chicago Tribune ""The Magician King" is a rare achievement, a book that simultaneously criticizes and celebrates our deep desire for fantasy."---The Boston Globe "A darkly cunning story about the power of imagination itself."---The New Yorker "A spellbinding stereograph, a literary adventure novel that is also about a privilege, power, and the limits of being human. "The Magician King" is a triumphant sequel."---NPR.org "Hogwarts was never like this."---George R. R. Martin, bestselling author of A Game of Thrones "This serious, heartfelt novel turns the machinery of fantasy inside out."---The New York Times Book Review "Hogwarts was never like this."
