The Magician's Diary

Glass and Steele, Book 4

By: C. J. Archer

Narrated by: Marian Hussey

India and Matt thought all their problems would come to an end once they found Chronos. But the watch magician brings with him as many questions as answers, and a load of trouble. To fix Matt's magic watch, they must find an old diary that once belonged to a doctor magician murdered decades ago. The hunt drags them into a sordid mystery involving two of London's craft guilds. With old and new enemies determined to stop them, and long-held secrets unearthed, Matt and India must work together better than ever.

But as the reason for India's strangely strong magic is revealed, she wants to draw other magicians into the open, while Matt wants to hide magic to keep her safe.

Her plan backfires. His plan shatters. And danger comes to their door.

good story, poor editing

I enjoyed the story, but the audio editing was done poorly. There were multiple repeated lines throughout

Very Good

Now the story is really picking up! This book was great! Without giving anything away I did not see THAT coming (you’ll know what I mean when you hear it.)
Unlike the previous books in this series this one does hold up on its own. Also, you can definite see an improvement in the author’s writing in this book.
The characters are even more awesome. This story really plunges them into your heart and if you aren’t attached to them from the first 3 books this book will really make you love them.
The narrator has improved a little with her accents too but she still desperately needs any editor.

Thanks for the insight into Nate.
Now to get down to the mystery of Willy!
loving it.

Enjoyed the story but poor editing

As you are listening along, many lines are repeated. At first I thought it was maybe my Bluetooth cutting in and out but eventually realized it was the editing.

The series is fantastic /excellent narration

Well written, credible fiction with romance and adventurous mysteries that keep you intrigued. I only have one complaint. The language. Yes it’s not vulgar but one character in particular (Willie) whom I dearly like, frequently uses Gods name in vain through out the stories which makes it difficult for me to give it 5 stars since this would hold me back from recommending it.
If it were not for the use of GD and JC, I would be telling everyone of this great read.

Narrator made the story come to life, her ability to do multiple accents and voices as well as her acting makes a HUGE impact.

Technical Difficulties, But A Great Twist

There were some technical difficulties throughout this recording, but I really enjoyed the close to some of the older plot arcs closing, but also opening new ones. Also so happy they're finally acknowledging whatever is happening with Willy! Frustrated that I could not find this in a library or anywhere else in the state of CT to be honest, though. Does anyone know where else to find this series besides Amazon/Audible?

Fun fast read

Fun fast read. Not a lot of India/Matt plot development. Deliciously scandalous Edward twist and satisfying ending.

Love this series.

It is soooo good! It’s the fourth book and I am still interested and it keeps you on your toes. The mystery in these books is great and you learn more and more about the characters as it goes. I would recommend this to anyone that likes old fashion books with mystery romance and magic.

wonderful!!!

This is a very exciting story. I could barely stop listening to it. Highly recommend.
