RaveMarie Claire Magazine...we give you one guess as to why we're now swooning over Lev Grossman's The Magician King, the sequel to his bestselling fantasy novel, The Magicians. If you guessed that the book features a wickedly intelligent, sorcery savvy anti-heroine, you'd be right ...think The Chronicles of Narnia meets Harry Potter, with a side of whiskey... Woven into this journey is Julia's back story, a tale so engrossing it'll have you wondering, 'Quentin who?' ... Julia is no dinky chick sidekick ... In fact, you might even say Quentin is her sidekick. Kudos to Grossman for giving this leading lady the limelight she deserves.
