I was very on the edge of my seat!! This keeps twisting and turning, where I never expected. But then Townsend added his own little surprise.

Latest Review: Freddy Finds a Friend by Charles W. Page MD

Post by Gabriela Contreras Gonzalez »

From the very beginning of the review, I knew I had to read this book. How did Borlock regain consciousness? What is the Guild of Magicians? One after another, the accusations that Delvin faces only demonstrate how powerful he truly is and how important he is for the future. Will Delvin and his companions succeed in their mission?

I'm not particularly fond of these types of fantasy novels, so this isn't a book for me. But from the review, it appears that the novel is chock-full of magical goodies that readers of this genre will embrace and enjoy. Congrats to the author on his achievement.

Poor Delvin! He gets thrown into a situation where his friend is killed and framed as the murderer. He certainly has a lot to learn apart from his new responsibilities. I loved how you explained the main plot points. It made it easier to understand the story. Keep up the good work! :mrgreen:

The dangers of magic in the wrong hands are expertly explored in this book. The book skillfully blends moral lessons with action, illustrating the perils and appeals of having such authority. Congrats on BOTD.

I have previously reviewed this book and found I enjoyed it. The fantasy world of magic and strange lands and customs are all appealing and I hope to be able to read the following books in the trilogy. I enjoyed the flow of the writing and followed the story effortlessly. I did dislike the class divide that was depicted, although the author wrote this so well. The cover is also appealing and drew me in.

This novel seems very interesting and fun to read. It's murder mystery vibes and magic are a perfect combination that can keep one at the edge of their seat while reading. It is definitely the first book i am reading tonight.

Fantasy but make it meaningful. It seems to me this story is enticing and adventurous, but not shallow and devoid of emotional content. The fantastic canvas is carefully weaved to create a suggestive story.

Just read the review for "The Magician's Secret" by Charles Townsend, and I'm already hooked! Delvin's mysterious encounter with magic and the sudden turn of events has me eager to uncover the secrets hidden within the story. Princess Jarla sounds like a refreshing character, challenging societal norms and paving her own path. While I understand the reviewer's desire for more detailed character descriptions, it seems like the gripping plot compensates for this minor aspect. Overall, this book sounds like a captivating read that I can't wait to explore!

"The Magician's Secret" by Charles Townsend seems well-plotted. I like Delvin's unpopular decision to wield power responsibly. Congrats on BOTD. Awesome review.
