I’ve had a tempestuous relationship with this series by Lev Grossman. The first book I started out liking--I loved the idea of a secret college for magicians in upstate New York--but in the end I rated The Magicians only 2 out of 5 stars, a bit harsh in retrospect because I read it straight through ...

As I wrote in my review of "The Magicians," this series is probably much better if you're a former fan of the Harry Potter/Narnia/etc books than if you're a current fan or indifferent to that genre.

If you're the kind of person who's read all of the Harry Potter, The Chronicles of Narnia, and you liked this book's predecessor, The Magicians, then you'll like this book. Compared to The Magicians, The Magician King is...

While I eventually got into and enjoyed the first book, I couldn't get into this sequel, in spite of multiple attempts.

This, the second book in 'The Magicians' series tells of Quentin and his friends in the imaginal world of Fillory. Some of the characters have come about their magical skills and knowledge via the channels of academia (as told in the first book), while others have come about theirs in a more illicit...
