PanThe Fantasy Book Review...did enjoy The Magician King but not to the same extent as its predecessor, it just didn't seem to immerse me in the same way ... Let's start with Quentin, who finds himself bored and listless in the magical kingdom of Fillory. Here I will give the author a back-handed compliment if ever there was one in that so strongly did Grossman bring across Quentin's emotions that I found myself mirroring them ...think this is akin to having a Harry Potter story without Hogwarts - people want and expect it be there because it is not only a place they want to read about, it is also a place they actually want to go to.
