Gah! When are Delilah and Kell going to smooch already!? This book was a little bit blah, a necessary hiccup in the middle of the trilogy so that Delilah can find her magic and so Schwab could set the scene for the final book. It was entertaining, but not mind-blowing. Lots of magician tournament scenes.

Barrels of fun even if everyone is a little too perfectly roguish and skilled and handsome. Good magically escapism.
