Years ago, The Magicians offered a dark twist on a beloved fantasy book series, and now, I think this new 2024 novel is doing the same exact thing. Many know The Magicians as a five-season fantasy drama that aired on Syfy, but I know it as a set of three fantasy books written by Lev Grossman. Whether on-screen or on the page, The Magicians follows Quentin Coldwater, a student who is given the chance to study at a magic academy where he learns that his favorite book series, and the magic world inside it, are real.
