Delvin thought that his woes with the Magician's Guild were over. However, the Guild still wants to take over the duchies of Hengel and Argent. They also want to get a hold of all the magician's stones. They know that they'll be unstoppable with the magician's stones in their possession. The Magician's Guild's latest plan is almost successful, and they nearly gain total control of Hengel and Argent. The only people brave enough to attempt to stop them are Delvin, Princess Jarla, Grimbolt, and a crafty street urchin named Nippy. Will Delvin and his friends outsmart the Magician's Guild and reclaim authority in Argent and Hengel? To find out, you must grab a copy of The Three Card Trick by Charles Townsend.

The Three Card Trick is a moderately lengthy book. It is 349 pages long and has 38 chapters in total. The Three Card Trick is a spellbinding and well-written book. The book has a well-developed storyline with plenty of twists that readers will enjoy. The Three Card Trick is the second instalment in the Illusions of Power trilogy. People who haven't yet read the first book (The Magician's Secret) can comfortably read this book without struggle. The author includes a section that explains background information from the previous book.

I appreciate how Charles Townsend, the author, sets up scenes in the book. He gives detailed descriptions of places, events, and characters in the story. I also like that he included maps of Argent and Hengel at the start of the book. All of this aids readers in better understanding and visualizing the story. I like how action-packed and eventful the story is. The book has numerous action scenes. I was delighted by the pranks and cunning tricks Delvin and his friends used to escape complicated situations.

In summary, I have settled on giving The Three Card Trick a rating of 5 out of 5 stars.  I settled on this rating because of how much I enjoyed the story. I do not have any negative critiques for this book. The Three Card Trick carried the momentum from the first book. I found the reading process gratifying because of how spellbinding and unpredictable the story is. I genuinely look forward to reading the next book in the trilogy. I must also commend the editing. It appears to have been professionally done because I did not encounter any errors while reading. I recommend The Three Card Trick to people who enjoy reading the medieval fantasy genre. I would not recommend this book to younger readers like children because the content is too mature for them.

I got the whole trilogy when the book were free but I have to confess that I still have to start it. The review of this novel confirms the positive impressions I had from the first book, and that's one more reason to read this trilogy. Thank you for your great review!
