August 2011How did it get to be August? Suddenly I feel the rush to get all those things I wanted to accomplish this summer crossed off the list! With my heavy conference schedule behind me, these next few weeks are going to be spent doing a lot of gardening, swimming and visiting with friends, as well as enjoying time with the family at the beach before the boys head back to school.
Earlier this summer, TheBookReportNetwork president Carol Fitzgerald was interviewed about Gail Caldwell's touching, emotional memoir Let's Take the Long Way Home: A Memoir of Friendship.
Editorial Content for The Magician KingBookContributorsReviewer (text)Max Falkowitz
In 2009, Lev Grossman’s THE MAGICIANS took the fantasy world by storm. We followed a cadre of young magical elites as they adventured through the wizard-college-that-isn’t-Hogwarts and the land-of-magical-animals-that-isn’t-Narnia. And we watched their realizations that magical escapes aren’t all they’re cracked up to be, as they --- and the fantasy genre --- grew up. His sequel takes these themes in a darker direction, as bildungsroman becomes transformative fantasy in a story that may make you reconsider how you read the genre forever.

PromoIn this sequel to THE MAGICIANS, Quentin and his friends are now kings and queens of Fillory, but a life of royal luxury goes wrong when a magical ship brings Quentin back to his parents' house in New England. About the BookTHE MAGICIANS was praised as a triumph by readers and critics of both mainstream and fantasy literature. Now Grossman takes us back to Fillory, where the Brakebills graduates have fled the sorrows of the mundane world, only to face terrifying new challenges. Quentin and his friends are now the kings and queens of Fillory, but the days and nights of royal luxury are starting to pall. After a morning hunt takes a sinister turn, Quentin and his old friend Julia charter a magical sailing ship and set out on an errand to the wild outer reaches of their kingdom. Their pleasure cruise becomes an adventure when the two are unceremoniously dumped back into the last place Quentin ever wants to see: his parent's house in Chesterton, Massachusetts. And only the black, twisted magic that Julia learned on the streets can save them. THE MAGICIAN KING is a grand voyage into the dark, glittering heart of magic, an epic quest for the Harry Potter generation. It also introduces a powerful new voice, that of Julia, whose angry genius is thrilling. Once again Grossman proves that he is the modern heir to C.S. Lewis, and the cutting edge of literary fantasy.
