The issues in this volume each have different story arcs (albeit with some links between them) and as such there were some I enjoyed considerably more than others. Overall though it was a very enjoyable read. The stories are smaller in scale than in the previous volume, and mainly focus on individual characters.
My biggest issue with this volume, and honestly the Charmed comics in general, is that the desire to please the fans sometimes takes priority over telling stories which actually make sense. Something happens in this volume particularly which seems inconsistent with both the worldbuilding and characterisation of the show, and I find that irritating. It makes the comics feel more like fanfiction than a licensed continuation.
The art is decent, although characters generally do not look much like they do on the TV show. My favourite art appears in the final story, where black and white is used to great effect.

Mini review time! I enjoyed how this one focused more on family issues than on the larger issues of the magical world. What I'm really liking about the graphic novels is how they focus individually on one of the sisters and her family. I'm glad that the Charmed family is growing, although I sometimes struggle with keeping the kids straight in my head.
Unfortunately there's something I did not like about this volume despite the art being consistent. I realize that this is a magical world, but there are still rules that were created to make the world realistic in its own way. There were some choices made in this volume that I felt were not realistic to the world, so I was a little disappointed. I didn't like how it changed things and I'm not sure how the series can continue with that looming over it. Being purposefully vague because of spoilers. In any case, I'll be continuing because I love Charmed.

The plot has picked up the pace, the stories remain fun, elements laid down in the first two volumes are coming into play... this is a really good, solid comic, and although the art in the last chapter is awful, I think that's really my only complaint. Go Team Charmed!
