The riveting sequel to the New York Times bestseller and literary phenomenon, The Magicians With The Magicians, Lev Grossman earned the admiration of readers and fans alike, shattering the limits of conventional fantasy writing by imagining magic as practiced in the real world by fallible people, unfettered by fictional notions of good and evil. The Magician King returns to Fillory, where Quentin is now king. He embarks on a heroic quest accompanied by his old friend Julia, who made it to Fillory despite failing the Brakebills entrance exam. Instead, he and Julia—whose genius is thrilling—must harness the magic of Brakebills and the explosive sorcery Julia learned in the streets to defeat a sinister threat in a world far from the bright fantasy novels they read as children. Once again, Grossman proves he is the modern heir to C. S. Lewis and the cutting edge of literary fantasy. from www.themagiciansbook.com: Take a picture of this QR code with your smartphone to visit Lev Grossman’s website. “This serious, heartfelt novel turns the machinery of fantasy inside out.” —The New York Times Book 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 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 “A story about extraordinary deeds, heroism, magic, and love . . . a book that entertains and disturbs at the same time.” —Boing Boing suGGesteD oRDeR J u n e • P l u m e 19 PLUME
