I read the first book in this series and really enjoyed Delvin's adventures. I wonder what force puts the princess's life at risk this time. Congrats to the author on BOTD!!

Although I do not fancy series books, the fact that this story is about magic would make me rethink. I also like that the author had improved on the description of the character trait, which will aid readers' comprehension of the story. Congrats on #BOTD!

From your review I can tell that you really loved the book. I just need to understand what really fascinated you to the point of calling it 'perfect'. Then by violence in the book, and the caution for readers, what do you mean?

'Official Review: The Three Card Trick' by Charles Townsend serves as a good background to the science fiction story of the book for curious readers. It describes the main ideas of the book. The point that this is a story about the protagonist using his magic stones to bring peace to two powerful cities is worth mentioning in the review. Readers would enjoy the new adventure the protagonist and his friends had to take. Also, as mentioned in the review, we would enjoy reading about the protagonist performing his magic tricks. Learning that this is a story of action and adventure was nice!

"The Magician's Secret" has been on my to-read list for quite some time now, and it seems "The Three Card Trick" will be too. I'm pleased to know the author took the criticism of the first book into consideration and perfected the second one. I can't wait to start it.

The introduction of compelling new characters adds depth and intrigue to the story, while the looming threat to Princess Jarla and the cities of Argent and Hengel raise the stakes to dizzying heights. Fans of the series will find this installment a worthy and satisfying follow-up.

Like you, I was a fan of the first book and am very excited to read the sequel. I also agree that the first book need further character development and am thrilled to hear that book 2 delivers.
