Magic isn’t something I enjoy reading about but this book was given to me a while ago and I also noticed it on Reese’s book list so I thought I’d give it a try and check it off the list.
It still isn’t really my thing. Strangely after reading a book that covers a whole life time I feel like barely any story was actually there, just a lot of hopping around. I do like the distinctive characters of each of the different siblings. Franny is my least favourite because I find her attitude to change too much. One moment she acts like she needs to be the most responsible and hold down house, the next she’s making spare of the moment decisions.
