Discover a world where magic and love collide in Wilf's thrilling journey!
In a world where magic reigns, Wilf Gilvary finds himself trapped by the very power he despises. Yet, when the fate of the Magical Realm and the girl he loves, Katryna, hangs in the balance, Wilf realizes his abilities may hold the key to their salvation. But there's a catch - he must first unlock the full extent of his magical potential.
As rival factions of witches and wizards clash for control of the Magical Realm, Wilf embarks on a perilous journey that unravels its ancient secrets. Doubt creeps into Wilf's mind. Is his affection for Katryna genuine or merely a remnant of a broken love spell? And his struggle to control his powers only adds to his uncertainty.
Despite the risks, Wilf dares to delve deeper into his powers and the destiny that awaits him. It forces him to confront an impossible decision: forsake his dreams of a normal life in Hong Kong or allow magic and the Magical Realm to fade away forever.
Prepare yourself for a gripping adventure where Wilf's hatred for magic clashes with his love for Katryna. Will he overcome doubt, harness his magic, and save a world on the brink? Join Wilf on this extraordinary quest, where sacrifices must be made and destinies unfold, forever changing the course of his life.

I eagerly anticipated the conclusion to the Virus of Beauty trilogy and loved the continuation of the roller coaster ride that started in the Virus of Beauty and the Veil of Corruption. The ending of this trilogy was jam packed with adventure and, with Wilf, Katryna, Ermentrude and Myra, we traveled farther into the secrets of the Magical Realm and the consequences to our beloved main characters. Wilf is conflicted because he doesn't want to give up on living his life as a normal teenager, yet will he be able to turn his back on his magic and the world that might end without his intervention? He struggles, but he's running out of time, and the reader is caught up with his dilemma, even as he seeks to protect his love, Katryna, and all of the other people he holds dear. I was rooting for Wilf, as his magic threatened to engulf him, dragging him closer and closer to his ultimate choice. I was satisfied, yet sad to read the last page of the Vassal of Magic, and hope that CB Lyall plans to continue the story of at least one of her other intriguing characters in the trilogy. I would love to read more about Myra's journey, before, after and/or during the time period of the setting of the Virus of Beauty novels.

" Wilf’s pulse blocked all other sounds, and his mouth felt drier the closer he moved toward the crystal. He held his hand over it.
“What are you waiting for?” Ermentrude knocked his elbow.
He swallowed and let his hand touch the crystal’s solid, cool surface. He turnedvhis head to look at the others.
“Press harder,” Ermentrude said.
Wilf spread his fingers and thrust down on the crystal. A ripple ran over its surface clouding the scene inside. The tips of his fingers plunged below the surface. He yelped and withdrew his hand.
“Bat's blood! Get on with it.” Ermentrude squeezed his hand.
He let out the breath he’d been holding and spread his hand over the crystal’s surface once more. Again, his fingers sank through the surface, but this time he refused to pull them back. There was a viscous-like feeling in his fingers, hand, and wrist. His arm was being sucked in. He imagined being dragged under by
quicksand or the black mud of some marshland. He looked over his shoulder at Ermentrude. Her eyes were wide, focused on his arm and the crystal. Every part of Wilf screamed to back away, his mind yelling at him to withdraw his arm as his entire arm was pulled into the crystal. His neck and head were going to be next. What would stop him from drowning if he went in any further? He tried to pull out, but it was too late. He screamed just before his body was sucked into the crystal’s depths….”

The Vassal of Magic is the third instalment in The Virus of Beauty series by C.B. Lyall. It continues the adventure we began back in book one, so I highly recommend reading the first two books before starting on this one, as knowing what has happened in the previous books will definitely enrich your reading experience of this book, and the series as a whole.
This fabulous YA urban fantasy series has such a unique, original, and intriguing storyline and wonderful, quirky characters who really make this story come to life. I can see it making a great TV series too, as there is plenty here to love. Woven with lots of action, adventure, magic, witches, wizards, drama, danger, mystery, suspense, tension, friendship, family, politics, and agendas- this story really grabs the imagination.
We follow on from the previous two books and Wilf is still grappling with his feelings towards magic. He really just wants to be ‘normal’ and free- but he can’t even manage to utilize the full potential of his magical powers, so he’s feeling stuck. Then there’s the overwhelming sense of responsibility that’s really weighing heavily in his shoulders. Doubts and fear are definitely holding him back. What happens when he discovers a piece of shattered Mages Crystal- you really should read all the intriguing developments for yourself, because Wilf is about to be challenged like never before and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Adventure awaits…..
Again, Ms. Lyall’s wonderful world-building and attention to detail created a fully immersive reading experience that held me rapt right from the get-go. I have enjoyed this series immensely, and without giving away any spoilers, with the way this ended it made me hope that there might be many more magical adventures for Wilf (& Co) to come…
If you love a richly woven YA fantasy with superb world-building, engrossing storylines, plenty of originality, action, adventure, emotion, and wonderful quirky characters- then this is definitely the book/series for you.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, C.B. Lyall!

5.0 out of 5 stars ~ Teen Wizard Returns ~
Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2023
First of all, if you haven't read the first two book in this series, you will definitely want to pick them up!!! C. B. Lyall is such a unique author that tells stories in a way that just sits you right down in the plot and takes you along for the journey. You really feel like you're in the adventure right along with Wilf, and finding things out as he does. This is the perfect YA for anyone who enjoys Magic, coming of age stories, family drama, or finding identity overtures.

Wilf continues in his quest to be finally free from all the magic that seems to be unwilling to let him go. Unfortunately it looks like he will not be able to return to his "Normal" life as he would wish it to be. What I love about the third book in the series, is watching Wilf attempt to control the magic that he hates, in order to possibly be rid of it for good. It brings up a lot of conflicting feeling for the reader, especially if you err on the side of enjoying magic LOL.

When Wilf finds a piece of the shattered Mages Crystal, he starts to question so many things. The biggest heartbreak is watching Wilf’s affection for Katryna come into question. Their love story is so cute and sweet to watch unfold, and now I’m finding everything I loved about them come into question.

Overall there are so many choices Wilf has had to make. Watching him struggle through forever abandoning his dream to return to “normal” or allowing magic and Katryna to perish *sad*.

Thank you to the author for this incredibly fun series, and sharing it with the world. Lovely characters, fully dynamic quests in a very streamlined easy to understand world, and just wonderfully exciting to read!
