- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
4.5
I just finished rereading this, and I have to admit it’s been awhile since I’ve read it - simply because I don’t really reread books.
This is a book I’ve long considered one of my all time favorites, but I think that honor may be given to Magic Lessons (which is part of this series, and tells the story of Maria Owens).
BUT, this book is still great... I just think Alice Hoffman has perfected telling the stories of the Owens women the farther she gets into the series. I cannot wait for the final installment (The Book of Magic) to come out later this year.
