"The Magician's Land" Book Review: I don't know how to talk about this book without getting emotional, so I'm not going to try to be cool about it. The Magician's Land is the ending the Magicians trilogy deserved, and it's the ending Quentin Coldwater deserved, and I did not expect it to make me feel the way it did.

If The Martian was Andy Weir proving he could make science entertaining, Artemis is Weir proving he could build a whole city and then blow parts of it up. It's not as tight as The Martian. The protagonist isn't as universally lovable as Mark Watney. But it's a blast, and the lunar city of Artemis is one of the most well-engineered pieces of science fiction worldbuilding in recent years. Book Review
