superb' JUNOT DIAZ, author of DROWN and THE BRIEF WONDROUS LIFE OF OSCAR WAO 'A sophisticated, subtle novel that is also magical fun' THE TIMES Lev Grossman has conjured a rare creature: a trilogy that simply gets better and better as it goes along .
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 *
This is a book for grown-up fans of children's fantasy and would also appeal to those who loved Donna Tartt's The Secret History . Highly recommended * Library Journal *
The Magicians is the most dazzling, erudite and thoughtful fantasy novel to date. You'll be bedazzled by the magic but also brought short by what it has to say about the world we live in * author of The Russian Debutante's Handbook and Absurdistan *
The Magicians is a spellbinding, fast-moving, dark fantasy book for grownups that feels like an instant classic. I read it in a niffin-blue blaze of page turning, enthralled by Grossman's verbal and imaginative wizardry, his complex characters and most of all, his superb, brilliant inquiry into the wondrous, dangerous world of magic * author of The Epicure's Lament and The Great Man *
The Magicians is Harry Potter as it might have been written by John Crowley...This is one of the best fantasies I've read in ages * Fantasy & Science Fiction *
The author has taken all that is held dear in the fantasy genre, reverently (most of the time) tipping the hat to Rowling, Tolkien, Lewis, Le Guin and others, and shown it from a completely different and unique angle * Fantasy Book Review *
