The Magicians by Lev Grossman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Unexpected wonder. The best fantasy novel I’ve read during the year that I read it, which I have completely forgotten. Likely the year it was released, since I remembered I picked it up purely from the blurb during a visit to the bookstore. Impulse buy.
The description as an ‘adult’ Harry Potter is apt, but don’t let that detract you.
