Best out of the series holy cow
I wanted soooo badly to love this book. It had a great beginning but somewhere around the halfway point it got so boring. I would have like to spend more time with Faith and the how she started to go down the dark path. I think she should have cursed her father too - like she planned to do. The dog should not have died- at least not in the way he did - that was unnecessary. It was a total cop out for Samuel to die and come back. And somehow that prevented the curse to get him a second time? there are some things the movie did better with Maria Owens - and I think the best one was that SHE saved herself from being hung. And SHE built her own house while pregnant. Mad respect for that Maria Owens. I don’t think the Samuel Davis character should have been so prominent. I would have like to see Maria crash out more for what John Hawthorn did to her and her child.
Overall - the book just could’ve been better.

I could just kind of care less to finish this? Maybe in the future I will come back to this, but for right now I do not want to continue this book

Practical Magic has been a favorite movie of mine for years, but I somehow never got stuff to reading the book (possibly didn't realize there was one for a good while!)
I'm glad that I had to wait on hold for the library to have a copy for it and stumbled on this prequel in the meantime. She writes beautifully, with frequent poetic prose that's breathtaking, characters who are well fleshed out, and plots that keep you reading, both drawing on history and creative license. 5+stars. I absolutely cried in a few parts, and I am reminded of Anne Rice, but with more focus on a few characters and without elements of the southern Gothic/a bit more tame in some (comforting) ways.
