The Magician King by Lev Grossman (Reread)

Synopsis:
Now a king in Fillory, Quentin Coldwater struggles with the same ennui that beset him at Brakebills, and wonders if he will ever be happy–and then he’s abruptly kicked out of paradise. Read my original review here.

Review:
Like with my reread of The Magicians, when I reread The Magician King I was both bowled over by the characterization and risk-taking, and overly aware of some of the contrivances and plot expediencies needed to make the story work. And again, I did not care because I was so engrossed in what was happening. Less than 2 weeks to wait for Magician’s Land!

And did I mention that Julia’s journey simply rocks?
