Magician´s Land – Grossman Lev (2023)

Quentin has been cast out of Fillory. Alone and adrift, he returns to Brakebills, the school of magic where it all began, but he cannot hide from his past. His new path takes him through a world of grey and uncertain magic, from Antarctica to the enchanted Neitherlands. Yet all roads lead back to Fillory, where the magical barriers are failing and the realm faces destruction. To save it, Quentin must unlock the secrets of magic and risk sacrificing everything. The Magicians trilogy has been praised by Charles Stross as the best fantasy trilogy of the decade, while The Times calls it the most entertaining and compelling fantasy in a long time. Erin Morgenstern describes it as a trilogy that gets better and better, and Cory Doctorow praises it as a subversive, gripping and enchanting fantasy. George R. R. Martin calls it dark, dangerous and full of twists, while Joe Hill describes it as sad, hilarious, beautiful and essential to anyone who cares about modern fantasy. The New Yorker praises its darkly cunning exploration of the power of imagination, and Kelly Link calls it a perceptive and compelling novel of the fantastic. Naomi Novik highlights its exploration of fantasy’s hidden underbelly and the complicated reality beneath easy magic.
