Synopsis
Quentin Coldwater slogs through his life as a bored teenager in Brooklyn, burying himself in books like the fantasy series set in a magical land called Fillory that he's been enamored with for years. But when he gains entrance to the Brakebills College for Magical Pedagogy, a whole new exciting world opens. He meets people who've also always felt like outsiders (including the lovely Alice) and learns the arts of magic. He also learns that Fillory is a real place--but that knowledge comes with a steep price. Soon his new relationships are crumbling around him, the school is in danger, and he's forced into a life-or-death battle with some very evil beings.

Publisher's Note
Harboring secret preoccupations with a magical land he read about in a childhood fantasy series, Quentin Coldwater is unexpectedly admitted into an exclusive college of magic and rigorously educated in modern sorcery; an experience that gives way to Quentin's discovery that the magical land he idolized is real and darker than imagined.

Industry Reviews
"Very dark and very scary, with no simple answers provided--fantasy for grown-ups, in other words, and very satisfying indeed."
(05/01/2009)

"[This] is a grown-up's book, one that reflects on the sort of questions you never think to ask about fantasy narratives as a kid....There are some ravishing episodes..., and above all an irresistible storytelling momentum that makes THE MAGICIANS a great summer book, both thoughtful and enchanting."
(08/12/2009)

"If it weren't so sly and lyrical, the brazen evocation of HARRY POTTER would seem suicidal....But THE MAGICIANS is an homage to both J.K. Rowling and C.S. Lewis, as well as an exploration of what might happen if troubled kids were let loose in the supernatural realms they grew up reading about. Grossman captures the magic of childhood and the sobering years beyond."
(08/14/2009)

"THE MAGICIANS is an uneasy but rewarding marriage between popcorn fantasy and psychological realism. More than anything, it's about the sorrow that results from the revelation that even a world containing magic is a cold, harsh place, where true love doesn't always conquer all, and ennui chokes out ambition like so many weeds in a garden. Plenty of fantasies have traded on the ground broken by J.K. Rowling, C.S. Lewis, and Tolkien, but The Magicians is one of the few to really ponder the psychology of a talking bear."
(08/13/2009)

"This gripping novel draws on the conventions of contemporary and classic fantasy novels (most obviously, those of J.K. Rowling and C.S. Lewis) in order to upend them, and tell a darkly cunning story about the power of imagination itself."
(08/27/2009)
