The Magician's Land by Lev Grossman
4.0
I liked this about as much as the second one. Definitely some things that could have been done better. The part where Quentin turned into a god seemed like a stretch and I still think that Julia's and Penny's characters just didn't make a lot of sense. Also, I'm glad that Alice came back, but ... again, a bit too pat. Or maybe not that she came back, but that she just needed an afternoon to adjust and was fine after that?
But. There were so many great lines in this. I finally had to text one or two to friends because they made me laugh so hard. (I'd been wanting to text more but resisting because I knew it would take some complicated set up. Finally gave up when the unicorns showed up for the final battle: I'm putting down the hearts and fluffy clouds and backing away slowly. Don't want any trouble here. You can have all the rainbows.)
And it's still all swirling around in my head two days later. Enough that I'd read more. Enough that I went to Netflix to check out the TV adaptation. So must have liked it pretty well!
