I'm really intrigued by 'The Magician's Secret'. After reading the synopsis. The uncertainty surrounding Delvin's involvement in Borlock's situation, and his alliance with Princess Jarla and Fionella, has me itching to uncover the truth. Sounds like a thrilling adventure filled with magic and mystery. Congrats on the botd.

The review got me thinking... If you can't picture a character, how can you relate with it?
Maybe appearance is not that important when you know someone's desires and motivation. But it must still feel odd, otherwise this wouldn't be mentioned. I am curious so I might read this book.
