A review by bentheoverlordsbooks
The Magician King by Lev Grossman

4.0

 I think this will be a 4 star, I was really loving this book apart from a few big caveats. I did not like the pacing during part 2, and I did not like how the book handled one character towards the end of the book, that choice was not great.
That being said I liked the continuation of Quentins story, seeing him be the same old shite all over again. I also loved his interactions with his new allies that he makes over the book, and his relationships to the people from book 1. I could have used more time with our book 1 gang, but the new folk like Poppy were really really great.
I also love the expansion of the lore, and the exploration of Filliree.
Very excited to see where book 3 goes though.
