Magical world inside magical world inside the real world. Lev Grossman's The Magicians tells the story of a young intelligent boy and his curious education. I enjoyed the fact that in this magical universe there is no good vs. evil, only the personal battle for finding happiness and overcoming boredom. Good and evil exist in a complex interweaving, as they do in the real world- not as a singularly good thing vs. a singularly bad thing. This was a SUPER story and written very well. Lev Grossman has his masters in Comparative Literature and though I've never heard of this particular degree, it must be a good one. I look forward to reading his other novel Codex.
5/5
