The entire #1 New York Times bestselling Magicians trilogy, including The Magicians, The Magician King, and The Magician's Land, now available in one ebook bundle

The Magicians
Quentin Coldwater is brilliant but miserable. A high school math genius, he's secretly fascinated with a series of children's fantasy novels set in a magical land called Fillory, and real life is disappointing by comparison. When Quentin is unexpectedly admitted to an elite, secret college of magic, it looks like his wildest dreams may have come true. But his newfound powers lead him down a rabbit hole of hedonism and disillusionment, and ultimately to the dark secret behind the story of Fillory. The land of his childhood fantasies turns out to be much darker and more dangerous than he ever could have imagined . . .

The Magicians is one of the most daring and inventive works of literary fantasy in years. No one who has escaped into the worlds of Narnia and Harry Potter should miss this breathtaking return to the landscape of the imagination.

The Magician King
Quentin Coldwater should be happy. He escaped a miserable Brooklyn childhood, matriculated at a secret college for magic, and graduated to discover that Fillory—a fictional utopia—was actually real. But even as a Fillorian king, Quentin finds little peace. His old restlessness returns, and he longs for the thrills a heroic quest can bring.

Accompanied by his oldest friend, Julia, Quentin sets off—only to somehow wind up back in the real-world and not in Fillory, as they'd hoped. As the pair struggle to find their way back to their lost kingdom, Quentin is forced to rely on Julia's illicitly learned sorcery as they face a sinister threat in a world very far from the beloved fantasy novels of their youth.

The Magician's Land
Quentin Coldwater has lost everything. He has been cast out of Fillory, the secret magical world of his childhood dreams that he once ruled. With nothing left to lose he returns to where his story began, the Brakebills Preparatory College of Magic. But he can't hide from his past, and it's not long before it comes looking for him. Meanwhile, the magical barriers that keep Fillory safe are failing, and barbarians from the north have invaded. Eliot and Janet, the rulers of Fillory, embark on a final quest to save their beloved world, only to discover a situation far more complex—and far more dire—than anyone had envisioned.

Along with Plum, a brilliant young magician with a dark secret of her own, Quentin sets out on a crooked path through a magical demimonde of gray magic and desperate characters. His new life takes him back to old haunts, like Antarctica and the Neitherlands, and old friends he thought were lost forever. The Magician's Land is an intricate and fantastical thriller, and an epic of love and redemption that brings the Magicians trilogy to a magnificent conclusion, confirming it as one of the great achievements in modern fantasy.

Quote from fintlewoodlewix :
I enjoyed both the show and books. Books are harder hitting emotionally. Plots are quite different.

Aimed at adults. Fine for most teens.

Either way is fine. I just wouldn't go back and forth until one is done. I did TV first.

Call the wambulance!

I own the Whambulance.

The show sucked. Books are superior.

Quote from StrongWater3647 :
I saw this and immediately went to Amazon to check it out. I loved the TV show and was hoping the books would be more of the same. A number of the book reviews I read on Amazon and other book review sites stated the books are quite different. Top Amazon reviews seem relatively positive, but reviews on one of the common book review sites tend to be a bit lower. For $1 a book, I'll probably give it a shot anyway.
The books are quite a bit different - I didn't continue with the show after the first season as I felt it wasn't nearly as compelling as the books.

Great books. I don't know how they were originally $84 dollars though.

Absolutely worth a shot for this price. They're not for everybody, but they hit me where I was at at the time I read them. They get compared to Harry Potter a lot, but that's mainly bc there's a school for magic in it. I would say it's for a very different audience than HP. I would describe it more as kind of a cynical/dark/dystopian take on Chronicles of Narnia. You'll find better reviews elsewhere, but I would describe it as a character struggling with depression and coming to terms with life and the world as it is, while being introduced to a world of magic that is portrayed in such a way as to turn many fantasy tropes on their heads. So, if that sounds interesting, you may like it. If not, you may not.

Quote from JenT4685 :
I've always wanted to check out the series. Anyone have a recommendation on if I should read the books first or watch the tv series first?
I haven't watched the series, but I am certainly enjoying the books.
