The Magician's Land
by Lev Grossman
Book 3 in The Magicians
The trilogy that started by skewering Narnia ends by becoming something better than the thing it was skewering. Grossman pulls every thread together - Brakebills, Fillory, the Beast, Alice - and lands a finale that grown-up readers of Lewis and Rowling didn't know they needed.
