The Magicians and Lev Grossman

About Lev Grossman’s The Magicians …
I’m very pleased to introduce you to Quentin Coldwater and his misfit band of magicians. They’re an unusual lot; talented, clever and often dysfunctional. They experience all the drama of college life, complicated by backfiring spells and unexpected attacks by arcane horrors. Lev is a masterful writer, impressive with his turn-of-phrase and his strikingly complex characterization. He transforms the familiar into something alien, strange and menacing. He turns dreams into nightmares.
