Prophecies are like rules, seemingly stern and inflexible... yet every cad knows, rules can be broken.
Admittedly, I've enjoyed my stay in the mortal realm of Ria. Meeting Clove and Jam has changed my perspective in so many ways. I'm stil Luc Vale, Demon Prince turned adventurer. But I know more of love and companionship than I could ever have imagined.
Yet like any wayward prince, my past seems intent on pursuing me. While my girls and I get closer with Caz and Ash, new dangers rise from the underworld. Some more easily dealt with than others.
Unfortunately, time is not on our side. The disaster we've all been waiting for has finally arrived.
Even now, cracks form in the foundations of the Mage Tower. The webs of prophecy draw tighter around me, trying to bind my wrists. Yet it would seem that Fate and Father have forgotten who they're dealing with.
I'm Luc Vale, mage adventurer extraordinaire: the Dark Lord himself couldn't spoil my plans.

“Who Let a Demon Lord into the Mage Tower? Volume 3“ continues the hilarious, yet life-and-death adventures of demon lord Luc and his terrific (and mortal!) companions and fellow adventurers!
Often a favorite narrator, Erin Bateman absolutely nails this series! Author Atlas Kane gives her some delightful characters, dialogue and banter to work with.
Volume 2 ended with his adventurer party, along with a man who had once tried to kill Luc, discovering Luc’s true identity as a demon lord. Luc’s description of each member of his party, and Rhys, was very touching and set things up nicely for Volume 3 being more than Luc being part of, yet apart from, the party.
Volume 3 reintroduces the delightful bunny Benny, and brings Clove’s younger sister Mabel an unexpected and welcome role for herself. Clove, too, becomes more than a loving side-kick for Luc. The distinct personalities for Jam, Caz and Ash are developed further, and the role of Rhys matures nicely. Luc’s father makes a long-anticipated appearance with interesting revelations and results.
Fulfilling the primary goal for the adventuring parties would seem to be an ending for the series, but happily the author indicates that he plans on at least five books for Luc and friends; I hope it’s many more! 5* for Volume 3 of “Who Let a Demon Lord into the Mage Tower?”!
Okay, I was about to cast 500 voodoo spells on Kane for ending this series with just 3 books until I read the end and I celebrated!! This series was amazingly good! I loved it soooo much! Every book was 5 🌟 for me. This whole series had fantastic world building, great characters and awesome side characters. Again Kane shows us how it’s done! At first I was frustrated because book three was Ash’s book and he’s barely getting to know her so that ending was super cheap! Buuuuuuut now we know what’s to come so it’s totally fine! I absolutely adored Mabel and Benny 😂. The little spawn turned out to be a lil dark demon princess! She’s totally ready to follow in the footsteps of her Dark lord brother in law. 😈 I thought the fight with his dad was touching and I really enjoyed it immensely. Rhys turned out to be semi likeable and Luc has a pretty solid harem going for himself. I’m soooo thrilled bout the mayors fate. I’m hoping we get way more of this series, more than 7 at least like towers of Acalia although I’m still holding to the faith that Kane will go back and write more Acalia books. Pleeeease 🙏🏽

MC Luc Vale and his four party members and girlfriends have their work cut out for them, even with Luc's secret origin -- the Tower is becoming even more unstable and monsters more dangerous, Tower levels merging, and the tear in their dimensional barrier getting worse.
A few possible minor issues. Ash having to spend time to skin a monster when Luc has a spell the does the deed in seconds. Rava running around town when he's blind, so we assume he's using magic to navigate? Only thread missed was removing Baron's curse; she helped them a few times when she didn't have to, and she helped save Mabel.
This, very much, is a quick wrap up to alleviate tension about a series that feels ignored. There is zero character development, zero story progression, zero series advancement. This is just a way to say "here is everyone, they are fine.".
Liked the book, but felt a little rushed. Needed to have a reminder at the beginning of what happened previously since it has been a little while since the last book. Hopefully the next book doesn't feel so rushed.
I really loved reading this book. It was fun and entertaining. The story and characters continue to be interesting and engaging. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next. This is definitely worth checking out.
Darn right! You have promised (?), 5 books minimum in this series. Holding you to that. This has been a wonderful first journey and I'm looking for more to come.
