Two Volumes

"Eliot's is in two volumes." Penny, in The Magician's Land by Lev Grossman.

I forgot that was part of the books. I've been trying to figure out why in terms of the show. Also, Penny in the Library. See Lev.

“This is a feeling that you had, Quentin,” she said. “Once, a very long time ago. A rare one. This is how you felt when you were eight years old, and you opened one of the Fillory books for the first time, and you felt awe and joy and hope and longing all at once. You felt them very strongly, Quentin. You dreamed of Fillory then, with a power and an innocence that not many people ever experience. That’s where all this began for you. You wanted the world to be better than it was.” The Magician's Land by Lev Grossman

The Narrator: The end is almost here, Tippet.

Tippet: The end of what?

The Narrator: Of everything. Of this land. This world. This world is dying.

Duke Westlyham: The Narrator’s drunk again.

Pegasus: Oh no. [sighs] Not again.

Some of these books were quite good; some were hard to get through.  All, I feel, were worth reading.

The Magician's Land - Lev Grossman

The Magicians Trilogy Book 3

Reread: Aug 2022

This is it, the big conclusions to The Magicians. I really didn't remember much from this one. So I was kind of surprised with some of the things that happened. It was that pleasant "oh yes I remember" kind of surprise.

There was a lot that happened in this book. A lot of stories told. So many interesting things occurred. Top of the list is Janet's story. It's so wild, just like her really. Adventuring in the desert and kicking absolute ass. I kind of wish it had been fleshed out more. Like having it told in the second book, but I get that it wasn't really relevant to the plot of the second book. But it was still fun to find out. Especially since Janet isn't in the second book at all.

I also really loved the heist plot. That was really fun. Magical heists are a nice time. I really loved the whole whale journey thing for it as well. That is almost a whole separate story, but they were doing for the heist so I'm including it here. The whole whale thing was a nice touch of world building on Grossman's part. The idea that whales are magicians using spells in the deep ocean was a brilliant idea.

This book was a lot about how Quentin (the main character), had changed. And Grossman covered that very well I thought. He indicated a growth and maturity that served him well right to the very end. And speaking of the ending, I thought it went well. Sometimes fantasy series don't do a great job of sticking the landing, but The Magicians Trilogy did. It was kind of bittersweet, as it was the type of ending that left you wanting some more, and also leaving the door open for more in the reader's imagination. I like that in a book. Keeps me imagining what happened after I finished the book, which keeps a piece of the book inside my mind for me. I know I will definitely be doing that for the Magicians.

She was starting to suspect that facing up to the nightmare of the past is what gives you the power to build your future.

On the horribleness of reality: when I wrote The Magicians I was really struggling a lot personally, with depression and other things. I strongly felt the horribleness of reality. But my life has changed a lot since then: I got therapy, I got psychopharmaceuticals, I got remarried, had more kids, wrote some books that weren't flops. Reality and I are on way more civil terms. I actually think Quentin's arc in The Magician's Land reflects this pretty clearly. I don't think I was wrong about reality, basically, but my attitude toward the horribleness has changed. I'm more robust about it.

.

The struggles never go away, but I think the way that [Quentin] responds to stimulus has shifted, especially after a lot of the experiences last year, last season. When you think about it, he sort of has the emotional wisdom of someone who’s like 120-something years old after having experienced like, a whole life where he fell in love with a woman and a man, and had a child, and lost his wife, and lost his best friend and soulmate, and saved the world, and maybe ruined the world. He’s experienced a lot. And so, I guess I don’t think those things go away, but I think that we’ll see a shift in the way he responds to his internal demons.
