The Magician King is still a very great book. The plot is amazing, and the story moves at a pretty fast pace with surprises in every chapter. So after Quentin got out of the water, he and his friends went back to Josh's house to think. When they thought about what the dragon had said, Quentin realized that the dragon meant that the original entrance to Fillory was still open. This entrance was when the first Chatwin child entered the grandfather clock in Plover's house. So, realizing this, Josh made a portal to Cornwall, which was where Plover's house was. After they went through the portal, they looked at a map to find Plover's house.

Quentin and his friends had found Plover's house. But it wasn't just a house. It was more like a mansion. The house was huge, and they never knew that Plover had that much money. So now they have to get into the house.  The only problem is that the owners of the house, who are actually related to Plover, are throwing a party.  But, having the ability to use magic, Quentin and his friends easily sneak into the party and aren't noticed by anyone.  Then after a while, they go upstairs to find the grandfather clock that the dragon had hinted towards.
