<\/span>The sequel to The Magicians<\/a>.
\nIf The Magicians was Grossman’s deconstruction of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, then this is his Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Of course that doesn’t really do either book justice, and is a real disservice to the quality of what Grossman does here.
\nHe writes an excellent fantasy novel that is somehow simultaneously a love letter to the genre and a critical response to it.
\nThe highlight of this book is Julia’s back story, told in alternate chapters with the main plot.
\nI’d recommend this without hesitation to anyone who read The Magicians. Everyone else should go read that first book and then move on to this one.
\nI personally can’t wait til the third book<\/a>.<\/p>\n
