This book does a lot of great things. The descriptions of the characters, settings, and the actions of the characters are very well done. There is a lot to each character.

There is a point while Ceony is within Magician Thane's heart that becomes a little hard to follow; sometimes I had to reread sentences or paragraphs. But I think it was done intentionally and effectively. It works for the story. Ceony is new to magic. She's not prepared for what she gets herself into, so those small bits of confusion actually helped my understand her perspective better.

This is not your average magic show. Darren Romeo is a really good magician and singer. The illusions are top notch and worth going to see. This is a magic show so there are going to be dancers and assistants that wear outfits that show some skin. Live animals are a part of the show but it isn't an animal act.
I love watching magic in any way I can, live being the best, and I can say that this is a great show. The pop cultural references span the ages well and I have taken my niece there.

I was more into this than the previous ones, the series is now starting to progress at speed, with more players coming into the game in relation to the tarot cards and their representatives. Very interesting concept, although I admit I know nothing about it at all, so Sara's explanation when she reveals her picks are rather interesting.

The thing that started in book 1 with Sara and the Magician progressed quite a lot in this one, and I have to say I was excited for it happening.

Cannot wait to read book 4.

Now You See Me (2013)
Now You See Me (2013)
2013 | Mystery
Twisty turny mystery thriller about a quartet of stage magicians, who use their skills and talents to perform a trio of impressive and highly publicised crimes (robbing a bank, draining the account of corrupt individuals etc and redistributing their targets wealth), all the time being chased by both an FBI agent and a magician debunker (ummm ... two separate people, just to be clear).

It's flashy stuff, with little in the way of substance, however, and an ending you can see coming from about a 1/3rd of the way through.

Still might watch the sequel, though!
