About this product

Product Information

The unputdownable new novel by the bestselling author of CODEX _____________________________________ 'The Magicians is to Harry Potter as a shot of Irish whiskey is to a glass of weak tea . . . dark and dangerous and full of twists' - GEORGE R. R. MARTIN THE BESTSELLING BOOK BEHIND THE HIT SYFY SHOW _____________________________________ In a secret world of forbidden knowledge, power comes at a terrible price... Quentin Coldwater's life is changed forever by an apparently chance encounter- when he turns up for his entrance interview to Princeton University, he finds his interviewer dead - but a strange envelope bearing Quentin's name leads him down a very different path. Instead of Princeton, he finds himself invited to study at Brakebills - a secret college of modern-day sorcerers. Quentin plunges deep into a secret world of obsession and privilege, a world of freedom and power; and for a while, it seems to answer all Quentin's desires. But the idyll cannot last. There are others powers than sorcery, powers that are as seductive as they are dangerous - and when the illusion of safety shatters, Quentin is drawn into a world far darker than he ever imagined. After all, power corrupts. No exceptions. THE FIRST BOOK IN LEV GROSSMAN'S CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED MAGICIAN TRILOGY _____________________________________ Praise for the Magician Trilogy- 'Stirring, complex, adventurous . . . superb' - JUNOT DIAZ, author of DROWN and THE BRIEF WONDROUS LIFE OF OSCAR WAO 'A sophisticated, subtle novel that is also magical fun' - THE TIMES 'Lev Grossman has conjured a rare creature- a trilogy that simply gets better and better as it goes along . . . Literary perfection.' - ERIN MORGENSTERN, author of THE NIGHT CIRCUS 'The Magicians ought to be required reading . . . Lev Grossman has written a terrific, at times almost painfully perceptive novel of the fantastic' - KELLY LINK 'The best fantasy trilogy of the decade' - CHARLES STROSS 'The Magicians is angst-ridden, bleak, occasionally joyous and gloriously readable. Forget Hogwarts- this is where the magic really is.' - SFX 'The Magicians is fantastic, in all senses of the word. It's strange, fanciful, extravagant, eccentric, and truly remarkable - a great story, masterfully told.' - SCOTT SMITH, author of THE RUINS

  • In a secret world of forbidden knowledge, power comes at a terrible price..

    Hogwarts for grown ups. Really it is so much better. Grossman builds worlds within meta-worlds. Quentin Coldwater, is a Brooklyn teen obsessed with “Fillory and Further”, a Narnia-like pentalogy “published in England in the 1930s.” One day, after his alumni interview for Princeton is aborted, he’s mysteriously conveyed to Brakebills College, which is kind of like the M.I.T. for magic. An alternate society of magicians bumpily coexists with our own — and injects mature themes. In a secret world of forbidden knowledge, power comes at a terrible price..

  • An excellent read

    I got this when I was a couple of episodes into Season 2 of the series being shown on Sky. A totally absorbing read, there are other things happening in the book that aren't in the series and also things in the series that aren't in the book. It's got some very dark bits though - anyone who thinks this will be like Harry Potter - erm - this is the darker side of magic for grownups! Can't wait to get the next book!

  • So good!

    The characters are so relatable and refreshing. I can honestly say I've never gotten further than a couple of chapters in any book so I think it says a lot that I've nearly finished this one. If you're a fan of the tv show then the book answers a lot of questions.
