The Magician's Land by Lev Grossman

The Magician's Land (The Magicians, #3)I couldn't wait for this book to arrive... unfortunately the post office messed up and didn't deliver it for a few days for some unknown reason (they kept saying it was undeliverable because no one was home despite me being at home at all times) and when they did deliver it the mailman literally threw the package at my house.  Anyway....

The Magician's Land is the final book in the Magicians Trilogy and does a very good job wrapping up all of the loose story lines and brings back pretty much every character from the previous books. Quentin is now almost thirty and is finally getting adjusted to knowing that he'll never visit Fillory again and has become a teacher at his old school. While over in Fillory, Elliot and Janet find out that Fillory is falling apart and is about to "end".  Quentin and one of his students become part of a plot to steal a mysterious briefcase and eventually wind up involved in the mission to save Fillory.

I enjoyed the final book as much as the first two... it left me wanting more books in the series even though everything is wrapped up so nicely in the end. I'll give it an A-.

Also, the book starts with a quote from The Last Battle of the Narnia series and mentions Alice in Wonderland and Winnie-the-Pooh. And like the previous two books it has a cover that doesn't really make sense.
