The first book in a trilogy is always the best. (  ) kevindern | Apr 27, 2023 |  The ending still pisses me off. ( ) muffinbutt1027 | Apr 26, 2023 | I actually liked this better than The Magicians. They're great fun. Minus one star because Quentin is so damned impossible to please. ( ) bookwrapt | Mar 31, 2023 | There is no excuse for a rape scene. None. Especially a graphic one as contained in this book. It's a lazy trope to give a female character a "Troubled Past" and it completely ruined the book for me. (  ) boredwillow | Mar 4, 2023 | Be aware before reading this book that it has a rape scene in it in the latter half of the book which can be triggering to some readers. This book was amazing. A literary love story to 'The Voyage of the Dawn Treader' (and a little bit of 'His Dark Materials' too), it picks up two years after 'The Magicians' left off, with Quentin, Julia, Eliot and Janet as the rulers of Fillory. Something is killing their beloved land, however, and they must embark on a quest to fix it. The story takes us from Fillory to Earth to Fillory again, to lands previously unknown to us and situations we didn't even think possible but should have seen coming because, of course, this is Grossman's world we're talking about. I loved every second of it, especially (a) the fact that Quentin isn't that much of an asshole in this book as he was in the first and (b) the story with Julia. Knowing what had happened to her and how she ended up with magic, how she became so strong, was so satisfying but so heartbreaking. I'm starting the final book tomorrow. I can't wait.

 “Everybody wanted to be the hero of their own story,” Quentin declares, framing the novel’s theme in neat miniature. But by the end of “The Magician King,” he comes to realize that he just might not be. It’s a harsh lesson, and one that, in keeping with the preoccupations and innovations of this serious, heartfelt novel, turns the machinery of fantasy inside out.  ...a spellbinding stereograph, a literary adventure novel that is also about privilege, power and the limits of being human. The Magician King is a triumphant sequel, surpassing, I think, the original. I can't wait for the next one. Echoes from The Chronicles of Narnia [...] continue to reverberate, but Grossman’s psychologically complex characters and grim reckoning with tragic sacrifice far surpass anything in C.S. Lewis’ pat Christian allegory. Indeholdt iHar tilpasningenHæderspriserDistinctionsNotable Lists
Quentin and his friends are now the kings and queens of Fillory, but the days and nights of royal luxury are starting to pall. After a morning hunt takes a sinister turn, Quentin and his old friend Julia charter a magical sailing ship and set out on an errand to the wild outer reaches of their kingdom. Their pleasure cruise becomes an adventure when the two are unceremoniously dumped back into the last place Quentin ever wants to see: his parent's house in Chesterton, Massachusetts. And only the black, twisted magic that Julia learned on the streets can save them. No library descriptions found. |
