Hey! Finally! A review! Who knew. First review is the most recent book I read – also a note. I’m going to try to get as many of the 32 books I’ve read this year reviewed in time as I can, but in order to encourage myself to do more, I’m focusing on the ones I had strongest feelings about. So these are not going to be in the order I read them.
First up – The Magician’s Land by Lev Grossman
“Facing up to the nightmare of the past is what gives you the power to build your future.”
In the end, this is an incredibly satisfying conclusion to the trilogy. Technically there’s open air left at the close that would allow for more, but it also wraps in a way where you don’t need anything else. In the past few years, I’ve read a lot of series that concluded in maddening ways. I was justifiably nervous about the wrap up on this one, especially with how disappointed I was in the middle volume. I shouldn’t have doubted – it all came out well in the end.
