Practical Magic is a book I love and I normally enjoy Alice Hoffman's writing but I had a very hard time getting invested in Magic Lessons. I found myself often just annoyed with Maria's character. It was slow and fairly predictable. I'm struggling to find what this book really added to the series that wasn't already discussed in Practical Magic.

The Origins of the Owen’s women.
An interesting prequel to Practical Magic. I loved learning more of Maria Owens back story and hearing the journey of her life. Loved the ending and I look forward to reading The Rules of Magic next.

this book took me way too long to finish, i had to borrow it from the library twice because i don’t give up hahaha
it wasn’t anything remarkable for me tbh and i didn’t really much care for any of the characters and the men absolutely irritated me with their 1600s backwards logic
i really did enjoy the vivid picture the author painted and the descriptions but at times it was very very wordy and repetitive with each different perspective looking at the same scene

I just love the way Alice Hoffman writes about witches--I want to be one. Listening to this audio makes me want to plant a garden full of healing and hurting plants. Will I? No. But the fact that she makes me think about it is a good thing! I didn't remember much of the other magic books by her, but the quality of writing came through for me. Love how she works in historical truths to her books and how her women are so strong.
