Having read Practical Magic first, I enjoyed this book more. In Rules of Magic I enjoyed the dive into exploring the siblings and their respective gifts and their awareness and use of then throughout their lives whereas in Practical Magic the sisters seem unaware of their gifts entirely. I loved the expansion of the Owens family through distant cousin April and entire other branches of the family that weren't explored in Practical Magic.
