The Power by L.J. Smith

5.0

It had been so long since I read this book that I forgot how beautiful the ending was. It crazy to me to think of how much the show changed everything. It's such a beautiful story on it's own. Nothing dishonors it more than that. But thankfully, I've read the story and I see the true beauty in it. The way it honors witches in a way more stories dont, by using some facts with fantasy. It's such a beautiful thing. Over coming ones fears is the theme of this book to me. Nothing in the darkness is bad if you face it. It truly brings things in perspective. Fear cannot rule you if its faced head on and that's exactly what Cassie does. She was scared sure, but she didnt let that fear control her and was able to do the right thing. What a beautiful message.
