The Magician's Secret by Charles Townsend is a thriller fiction book. The story begins with Delvin, a magician, waking up with a blank mind and holding the leg of a chair. Next to him lies his good friend and fellow magician, Borlock, who has a knife through his chest and blood all around him. Delvin believes that he is not responsible for his friend's death. When fingers are pointed towards him, he becomes conscious. Was Delvin framed? Who killed Borlock? You can find out the answers by reading this book. Congrats on BOTD!!

I'm reading this book right now and will come out with my own review soon and I mostly agree with everything this review is saying - it is very fast-paced, action-driven, and compels you to read more. The one thing I disagree with is that over the course of the story we got to know the characters better - it's not just a lack of physical descriptions, as you pointed out, but a general lack of character writing. I'm 2/3 into this book and I still have no idea what Delvin's personality is. The one character who stands out is possibly Jarla, who has an undeniably strong personality - but even then, she comes off as pretty flat and one-dimensional. I hope I'm proven wrong soon! Really enjoyed your review.

Suspense from this review makes you want to read the book. The book is about Delvin who finds himself in a okward situation. He find him self next to magician borlock's unconscious body holding the leg of a chair. To really find out what happens you must read the book to know. Delvin then gets into a world if magic and adventure together with Princess Jarla and Fionella to save Hengel from war. Again to know what really happened you have to read the book. Very interesting.

Magician Borlock’s death prompts Delvin to uncover the truth of his master’s death. Along with Princess Jarla and Fionella, he embarks on a journey, saving Hegel on the way. The author created fabulous characters, out of which Princess Jarla stands out. This fantasy book will take you on an adventure.

Despite what life threw at Delvin, he found a way to survive. He was also a magician with passion and flare for his job. As for princess Jarla, I think she excels at using people to achieve her goals.

The review of "The Magician Secret" lures its readers to an adventure and suspense-filled story. I couldn't even imagine how difficult it would have been for women to go against norms set by men. How painful it would have been to fight against your fears...
