A great review, thank you.
This third installment sounds rather interesting and full of charm. Charles Townsend seems to have pulled a hat trick on this one.
Delvin and his friends are tested yet again! The threats loom darker and more challenging and sound rather captivating. I appreciated Delvin's strength in spirit
Congratulations to the author!

If there is one important message, I think readers should take away from this book, it’s the idea of never giving up on your goals. Despite the many obstacles Delvin and his friends faced in stopping the magicians, they kept going forward.
-This message resonates with me and I look forward to reading more. Thank you for a satisfying review.

This review made me want to read the book. I have yet to read the first 2 installments, but I think I'll dive in to those after my current read.

The novel explores the magical draw of magic tricks and the fascination of sleight of hand when the reader considers the scientific mechanics of the magical elements. Congrats on #BOTD

In my review of "The Magic Lantern" by Charles Townsend, I praised the captivating storytelling and brisk pacing that kept me engaged throughout the book. While I appreciated Delvin's character development, I wished for more exploration of supporting characters like Princess Jarla and Grimbolt.

"The Magic Lantern" by Charles Townsend is another book in which the main character is the magician Delvin. Other magicians will once again try to take Hengel and Argent. The plot of the book is interesting and flows smoothly. The book is professionally edited.

I'm glad you enjoyed the first book in the series! ." I agree, the straightforward plot of the Delvin stories is a big part of their appeal. The pace keeps you hooked from start to finish, and I can see how it would translate well to film. Can't wait for you to dive into the next book!
