The Magician King by Lev Grossman

This book does a great job of continuing the story of The Magicians. I didn't have much trouble slipping back into the world of Fillory. I really enjoyed the way that Julia's story of how she became a magician (and its costs) paralleled the story of Quentin's inadvertent quest. I thought Grossman did a particularly remarkable job of giving actions costs and consequences while still leaving me hopeful at the end of the book. I hope he continues to write in this world.
