𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘯’𝘴 𝘚𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘵 by Charles Townsend is a captivating book that is part of the Illusions of Power Series. It is a fantasy book filled with magic, mystery, and adventures. The book revolves around Delvin Farmhand, an apprentice of a magician named Borlock. His life takes a turn after an accusation that he has no memory of ends up changing his life. He ends up having to team up with Princess Jarla who has a frightening and threatening attitude but is a fun character nonetheless and ends up being involved in a scheme to stop the war between Hengel and Argent while still facing more wit needing challenges and life-threatening situations like being hunted down by a black magician. Devin is now left to use his wit and the magician’s secret to save himself and the people he cares about.

The characters have been illustrated quite well and their personalities and attitudes have been described extensively but there is a lack of detailing of the characters’ appearances.
The book deserves a rating of 𝟒 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝟓 because even though it is a good book it had parts in the story that drew you in very smoothly and then lost track midway. The grammatical style used in the book was very unique and interesting.
There seem to be missing bits throughout the story making it confusing for one to flow with the story well.
There were parts throughout the book where some words were underlined when they shouldn't have been, for example: on page 15, page 18, page 20, page 24, page 26, page 60, page 76, and page 82. This book contains repeated hints at sexual content and minor profanities and also contains a few violent scenes so a slight warning on that. The book was edited well and therefore had no grammatical or typographical errors.

For all fantasy lovers, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘯’𝘴 𝘚𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘵 is the book to read, following up with the Illusions series. I recommend this book to young adults because it draws them in with an adventurous escape.
