Lev Grossman · 3 novels · 1 novelette · 3 short stories · 2009–2019
Lev Grossman's Magicians trilogy (The Magicians, The Magician King, The Magician's Land, 2009-2014) follows Quentin Coldwater from a secretive college of magic in upstate New York into Fillory, a fantasy world he grew up reading about in a series of children's books that turns out to be real. As Quentin, his classmates, and his old friend Julia become entangled in ruling and defending Fillory, the trilogy pushes past the wish-fulfillment of a classic portal fantasy to ask what happens once getting everything you wanted stops being enough.
