I just finished "The Magician's Land" by Lev Grossman. Absolutely adored it. I've gotta say, I see the problems a lot of critics have with it, but it manages to make me not care about them. You hate the protagonist in the first book, and begin really rooting for him in the second. The whole magic system that's used there is really fascinating to, as is its short meditation on the nature of the divine.
