The Magicians by Lev Grossman
The book follows a young man with a deep-seated love for a series of fantasy novels, who discovers that the magical world he's always dreamed of is real when he is unexpectedly admitted to an elite college of magic. As he learns to navigate the complexities of spellcasting and the social dynamics of his fellow magicians-in-training, he struggles with the darker sides of this fantastical world and his own desires. The story is a coming-of-age tale that blends the wonders of magic with the painful journey into adulthood, exploring themes of disillusionment, desire, and the search for identity and meaning in a world where even the impossible can happen.
