This was a brilliant sequel that was just as funny and clever as the first book. It was nice getting to see things from Julia's point of view, and comparing her character arc with Quentin's. In fact I ended up liking Julia more than Quentin, though I do still like Quentin.I loved Julia's online fami...

Series: The Magicians #2 What can I say? This is basically Julia's backstory coupled with Quentin being really stupid about looking for quests.

Going back and forth between the books in this series and the TV show has been interesting for me. So far, I've watched season one, listened to the first book, watched season two, and listened to the second book. After the first book, one of the things that struck me is how much more time is cover...

I found the first book in this series to be a little lackluster, but I'm glad I continued on to the second book, anyway.Whereas "The Magicians" seemed to spend a lot of time flailing and worldbuilding and finding its way, in this book the world is richly established from the beginning. Although simi...

Wenn ich einen Blick auf die Liste der Menschen werfe, die Lev Grossmann interviewte, bleibt mir die Luft weg. Beispiele? Steve Jobs, Salman Rushdie, J.K. Rowling und – haltet euch fest – Johnny Cash. Ich bin sowas von neidisch. Es scheint zu stimmen, dass ein Harvard-Abschluss alle Türen öffnet. Ic...

TW this book has a very graphic sexual assault. This book takes place a few years after The Magicians. While off on an adventure to outer Fillory, Quentin and Julia end up back in the suburbs of Massachusetts. Throughout the book we dig into how Julia ended up with the Brakebills crew and just wha...

Although it wasn't a perfect book, this is a worthy follow-up to The Magicians. There is advancement in Quentin's story, and he's actually growing up and being less of a putz. I did like Quentin more in this book, but he'll never be a favorite hero of mine. Actually, none of the lead characters are ...

'The Magicians' ended with a hook for a sequel, completely unnecessary since Grossman had left a lot of questions unanswered. At the end of The Magician King I was pretty well satisfied. A great sequel to an interesting book.The disdain for the genre has mostly been shaken off. Grossman will still c...

The followup novel to the Magicians that tuned out to be quite a bit better than the first novel (which I really enjoyed). Mark Bramhall does a great job as the narrator in the audio version of this novel and he really brought the characters and story to life. This version has really sold me on list...
