A review by fantasynovel
The Magician's Land by Lev Grossman

5.0

All I can say is ... wow. The first book was OK, the second book was good, and this book was absolutely awesome. Grossman really hit his stride with this one--fast-paced, interesting, funny, cool, and smart. The world-building(s) really came together in this one. Everything that bored me about Fillory was subsumed by all the freaking fantastic stuff about Fillory (badass Queen Janet, anyone?). Quentin finally, finally, grows up and becomes a bearable narrator, Plum is a hilarious and unique addition, and Janet and Elliot's friendship plays out to a T. Loved, loved, loved this book!
