The Magician's Land by Lev Grossman401 Pages
This is the conclusion of Grossman's Magicians trilogy. Quentin Coldwater is no longer a ruler of Fillory, a secret magical land. Now he must figure out his path back in the mundane life on Earth. He ends up teaching at Brakebill's Preparatory College of Magic. He becomes embroiled in a plot to find the missing volume of one of the children that the Fillory series of books was based upon. At the same time the magical barriers of Fillory are failing and the end of that world is near.
Part Harry Potter, part Narnia, this series also deals with the magical worlds of childhood fading away as adulthood is reached. Through the eyes of Quentin, we have gone full circle in the trilogy. Lev's snarky style and wit provides an adult version of the Chronicles of Narnia without the heavy handed sentimentality that persists in that series.
