✨ The Title/Cover Draw:
This is the last of the Practical Magic series that I had to read. This series is a favorite of mine for sure.

I enjoyed the writing style and characters, but the plot was one of those that meander through a person’s life rather than having a main climax. Still worth reading and I understand why it’s well rated, it just didn’t grab my attention as well.

Another fantastic tale in the Owens family, this time following the old aunts we meet in Practical magic, Frannie and Jet, and their brother Vincent, growing up and navigating life and the curse in their own way.
It was everything I've come to expect, beautifully generational, tragically heartbreaking and absolutely moving.
It transitioned fantastically to the start of Gillian and Sally's story.
The one thing that gave me he ick was all the incest, no matter how distant, was so gross and accompanied with the underaged stuff happening on top of that... Just why. I really wish this was done differently.
Despite that major discomfort, again, this was a beautifully told, magical family saga! I have loved pouring over the history of the Owens' - they feel so real - and I'm so sad that I only have one more book left. Can't believe it had taken me so long to get to a series I so obviously knew I would love!

No real "hook" for me. 40 Pages in and I had no idea where the plot would be going as the author primarily focused on character development. I gave it a solid attempt but returned the book early.

So very good. I love her writing. And now I guess I’ll have to read Practical Magic :)
