Quentin and his friends are now the kings and queens of the magical land of Fillory. But he finds himself growing restless.
So when a mystery at the heart of the kingdom is uncovered, Quentin and his old friend Julia charter a sailing ship and set off to the wild outer reaches.
But their voyage will take them much further than they imagined and leave them with a choice that could have devastating consequences - for Fillory and for magic itself.

Rezensionen / Stimmen
The best fantasy trilogy of the decade. -- Charles Stross Lev Grossman has conjured a rare creature: a trilogy that simply gets better and better as it goes along... Literary perfection. -- Erin Morgenstern * author of The Night Circus * Lev Grossman's novel is full of magic ... stupendous urban fantasy ... The Magician King is Harry Potter for grown-ups who have learned to hate Harry Potter * The Guardian * The most entertaining and compelling fantasy I've read in a long time. * The Times * A story about extraordinary deeds, heroism, magic and love -- all the stuff that makes escapism go. It's a fantastic trick that makes this into a book that entertains and disturbs at the same time * Boing Boing * Fabulous fantasy spiked with bitter adult wisdom-not to be missed. * Kirkus * An excellent follow-up to a brilliant first installment. * Civilian Reader * Grossman's trademark eloquent-yet-hip writing style flourishes in this sequel, a creative and entertaining novel well worth the wait * Boswell Book Company *
