    Good ending for the trilogy, yet open-ended enough to account for potential future stories
  

*by L***. on Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2022*

I have really liked the Magicians trilogy.  There was a lot of interesting and unique interpretations about how magic is created, utilized and manipulated.  I have just recently started watching the Netflix series and find it quite enjoyable as well.  The two don’t overlap much except with some of the very basic concepts.  Even the characters seem different to each other.  There are some basic traits that each have, but the character development have turned them into very different versions, just as the plots are handled in each have more differences then similarities.  I was glad to see this difference, as it allowed both to stand on their own and be enjoyed for what they are unto themselves.In this book, I liked how that flashbacks and memories were used to explain what had happened to Quentin, such as turning thief, and his other adventures after returning.  It was great to see him teach a new group of students at Brakebills.  Though not so surprising that he would mess it up.  This return allowed the author a good way to introduce the Plum character and truly bring Fillory, the Chatwins, Earth and Quentin, full circle.  I was surprised though, as he left Fillory, Josh said to take the townhome in Venice and Quentin could have easily set himself up in that role.  In many ways, obeing this fixer-type character to both sides, would have allowed Quentin access to more knowledge and magics, not to mention funding for his future.  It seemed odd to not have Quentin even consider taking over the townhome, if nothing else.  Of course using Brakebills, it was probably easier to introduce Plum, and the return of niffin Alice.The big theft from The Couple was well handled.  All the intrigue and sophistry of this portion of the novel was incredibly thought out.  It reminded me of stories that immortalized other great thefts, such as Ocean 11, The Sting, and A Fish Called Wanda, but adding in a fun Magician’s twist.  Each thief was unique and had a good amount of backstory and character development.  Yet, keeping their air of mystery for some characters added to the intrigue and story.  I wish more was known about The Couple and their motivations.  Including the probability magic wielding golem truly makes this Magician’s Land very different from other magical universes in stories.It was amazing the stories from all the various characters from differing points in their histories, yet each interacted and moved towards the finalization of the trilogy.  I realize all good stories do this, but this story had so many moving parts and spinning plates, it was impressive the author was able to incorporate everything as well as he did.  There is plenty of history and rich diversity leftover, that the author could continue writing more stories within this world, if you ever wished to do so.  Yet you aren’t disappointed either if this is the end for this set of books.The moral that one Magician with the discipline of Mending, the repair of small objects, could save a world or two with such power,  It’s all in the application and motivation.  I liked the ending and the rebirth of Fillory using the deaths of the gods, Ember and Umber.  This gave the story a sense of an old fable being related.  That the story continues after this big climax, was wonderful.  The author even gives us possibilities for many characters future stories to be told.

    An fun series finishes up well
  

*by D***G on Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2014*

If you enjoyed Narnia and Harry Potter and you have little bit of religious background, a Torah here and a Bible there, you may have as much fun as I did with this twisted and modern version of those two series. It’s all there, magic, talking animals, angry Gods, war, fantastic journeys to faraway lands, sometimes being transformed into geese or even whales, with normal humans, sometimes kids, placed into high positions in these lands, even as kings and queens.It’s amazing that such nonsense can have real meaning and sometimes pierce your heart and teach you a little bit more about love, life and relationships. But the story really got to me here and there and as these young, sometimes nerdy smart misfits grow, and their personalities unfold over 12 or so years, a very real and sometimes harsh coming of age story is told. In this regard, it’s less a fairytale and more of an up close and personal view of kids growing awkwardly into adults with all of the mistakes they make along the way. And there are several very touching and sometimes disappointing and horrible things which happen, some of which get solved, others of which remain unsolved and almost too real.There is swashbuckling, hands severed, unfit Gods, loving Gods, moments of real and excellent magic, creations of new earths that are entered through a simple door in the side of an apartment and finally, the maturing of the characters and the final climax formed by years of planning, practice, schooling and magical demonstrations to save a beloved world, perhaps a bit of Frodo and Bilbo thrown in here. Compelling and excellent story that I will always love.I’d go to five stars, but the last book sometimes seemed too edited down, the storylines weren’t always told well enough and there was a little too much kidding around here and there that sometimes took me out of the story into the office of the author who is obviously a clever jokester.So, again, if you love this type of story, give this series a shot. I was entertained and hope there are more books coming. I can think of a dozen side plots that could easily be developed.Thanks to Caroline and other Goodreads friends for inviting me to enjoy the adventure.(less)

    Excellent ending
  

*by M***A on Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2024*

But it doesn't seem like an end.  Quentin has changed and grown so much that it's possible to think about him moving through adulthood and into old age still learning about the world and trying to make it a better place. And knowing that even small successes matter.
