Edan Lepucki, The New York Times Book Review This is a gifted writer, and his gifts are at their apex in The Magician’s Land.” The Magician’s Land, more than any other book in the trilogy, wrestles with the question of humanity. It not only offers a satisfying conclusion to Quentin Coldwater’s quests, earthly and otherwise, but also considers complex questions about identity and selfhood as profound as they are entertaining. “Richly imagined and continually surprising. It’s the story of a boy becoming a man, an apprentice becoming a master, and a broken land finally becoming whole. The Magician’s Land is an intricate thriller, a fantastical epic, and an epic of love and redemption that brings the Magicians trilogy to a magnificent conclusion, confirming it as one of the great achievements in modern fantasy. To save them he will have to risk sacrificing everything. He uncovers the key to a sorcery masterwork, a spell that could create magical utopia, a new Fillory-but casting it will set in motion a chain of events that will bring Earth and Fillory crashing together. But all roads lead back to Fillory, and his new life takes him to old haunts, like Antarctica, and to buried secrets and old friends he thought were lost forever. But he can’t hide from his past, and it’s not long before it comes looking for him.Īlong with Plum, a brilliant young undergraduate with a dark secret of her own, Quentin sets out on a crooked path through a magical demimonde of gray magic and desperate characters. With nothing left to lose he returns to where his story began, the Brakebills Preparatory College of Magic. Quentin Coldwater has been cast out of Fillory, the secret magical land of his childhood dreams.
