Now that they are kings and queens of Fillory, the characters who attended Brakebills magical college (and one who didn't) are finding life as a royal quite to their liking. In search of an adventure, they reconstruct (rather, their minions do the actual hard work) a magical ship which carries them across the sea to the farthest island which hasn't paid taxes for a while.

Thus begins their real adventure, which, as it turns out, requires sacrifice and some serious risk-taking as they work to prevent magic from being taken from the world.

I quite enjoyed this group of modern 20-somethings figuring out what was really important to them as they rose to their challenges and became who they were supposed to be. Despite the magical setting, this is a book about kids just out of college having to apply everything they have learned and figuring out the rest on the fly.

I think this would appeal to older teens who grew up with Harry Potter and the Narnia Chronicles. Those kids who, when they turned 12, were very disappointed that they didn't get a letter inviting them to Hogwarts. Plus, us "grown-ups" who still imagine creeping into the back of a large closet and finding....well, you know.

Ultimate adult fan fic. Still an enjoyable read for those of us still missing Harry Potter and who loved Narnia. Apparently life after Hogwarts isn't happily ever after.

Warsaw zookeepers Jan and Antonina Zabinski lived an idyllic existence among their beloved animals until the Nazi invasion.

Although the loss of their animals, who were often more like members of their family than wild creatures, was devastating they smoothly transitioned into caretakers of their new Guests, refugees from the Warsaw Ghetto and other Jewish friend whose lives were at risk.

Antonina used his position as a respected member of the Warsaw government to work in the underground and ultimately saved over 300 people from sure death.
