Might go back and finish it later, might not. ( ) Quentin and Julia are some kind of king and queen of “Fillory”. They seem to be travelling a lot and casting spells. And running into old friends from magician school? This is book 2 in what I believe is a trilogy. The first was touted as an adult Harry Potter. From vague recollection, it was ok, but since I’m not a big fantasy fan… Ok, well it looks like I liked it, but it sounds like it was more urban fantasy (than this 2nd book is), which is more my “thing” except toward the end of the book. I shouldn’t have bothered continuing the series. The second book seemed to lose the urban part of the fantasy, likely the part that made the first book likable for me.
“Everybody wanted to be the hero of their own story,” Quentin declares, framing the novel’s theme in neat miniature. But by the end of “The Magician King,” he comes to realize that he just might not be. It’s a harsh lesson, and one that, in keeping with the preoccupations and innovations of this serious, heartfelt novel, turns the machinery of fantasy inside out. ...a spellbinding stereograph, a literary adventure novel that is also about privilege, power and the limits of being human. The Magician King is a triumphant sequel, surpassing, I think, the original. I can't wait for the next one. Echoes from The Chronicles of Narnia [...] continue to reverberate, but Grossman’s psychologically complex characters and grim reckoning with tragic sacrifice far surpass anything in C.S. Lewis’ pat Christian allegory. Contenido enTiene la adaptaciónPremiosDistincionesListas de sobresalientes
Segunda entrega de la extraordinaria y absorbente triloga? ?Los Magos en la que la magia se imagina como una actividad practicada por personas de carne y hueso con sus deseos, sus caprichos y sus volubles emociones. En El bosque mg?ico , Lev Grossman transita el terreno de la fantasa? para seducir a la legin? de lectores que han crecido leyendo Harry Potter. No en vano, la novela ha estado en las listas de ms? vendidos del New York Times y Amazon, y ha sido elogiada por autores de la talla de George R. R. Martin. Quentin y Julia son dos de los cuatro reyes de Fillory, un reino de fantasa? perfecto. Pero, de repente, se hallan de vuelta en el deprimente mundo de Massachussetts de donde proceden. Su queste ha fracasado. Lograr? regresar al pas? de sus sue?s? Rese?s: ?La novela que ha revolucionado el g?ero de la fantasa?. The New York Times ?Cualquier novela sobre unos jv?enes hechiceros en una escuela de magia es comparada con Harry Potter . Lev rossman se enfrenta al reto conscientemente... y de una manera triunfal. George R. R. Martin, autor de Cancin? de hielo y fuego. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
