The best fantasy trilogy of the decade. -- Charles Stross Stirring, complex, adventurous . . . Grossman delivers superb coming of age fantasy. A darkly cunning story about the power of imagination itself. * The New Yorker * Dark and dangerous and full of twists. Hogwart's was never like this. The Magicians ought to be required reading... a terrific, at times almost painfully perceptive novel of the fantastic. Brilliantly explores the hidden underbelly of fantasy and easy magic, taking what's simple on the surface and turning it over to show us the complicated writhing mess beneath. * author of the Temeraire series * The most entertaining and compelling fantasy I've read in a long time. * The Times * Lev Grossman has conjured a rare creature: a trilogy that simply gets better and better as it goes along...Literary perfection. * Erin Morgenstern * The Magicians is fantastic, in all senses of the word. It's strange, fanciful, extravagant, eccentric, and truly remarkable. * author of The Ruins * The Magicians is angst-ridden, bleak, occasionally joyous and gloriously readable. Forget Hogwarts: this is where the magic really is. * SFX 5 star review *
