Spellbook of The Lost and Found Readalong #spellbookreadalong discussion

Discuss the finale of the book here!

So, I kind of finished the book - I couldn't put it down last night and I couldn't stop reading!
I'm going to type out all my thoughts tomorrow but I am so excited to discuss the whole book with you guys!

I just finished the book and I did not see that ending coming!

I did actually guess most of the ending bizarrely, because I’m never good at that sort of thing. I loved it so so much. And I like that we don’t know what was magic, coincidence or ghostly goings on.

It was such a good read I couldn’t put it down. I think it was so well done.

Yeah, Suze guessed who Laurel, Ash, Holly and Jude were - I suspected it was a different timeline but I didnt connect who they actually were until Suze mentioned it to me the other day.

I really loved it, and the scene between Rowan and Olive in the storm was perfection!

I also figured out Laurel, Ash, and Holly were from a different timeline but didn't put it together who they were until one of mentioned thinking they knew - definitely interesting how everyone fit together.

I'll be the first to admit that I was a smidge annoyed that they didn't clarify what happened due to magic versus what occurred naturally but I'm beginning to warm up to it.

The part I'm wondering is how long did Olive's mom know they used the spell book. She obviously figured it out at some point but seeing as she used it as a teenager I'm wondering why she didn't notice some of the signs earlier. Or maybe she did and I just didn't pick up on it, lol.

Overall, decent book though!

I’m also wondering how long it took Olive’s Mom to figure out that they used the spellbook because since the beginning she was acting a little strange with telling Olive to “stay away from him, or you’ll lose everything”.

I liked it. But still really confused about Hazel and Rowan's dad. Lost soul? Was it related to Cathal disappearing? I don't know why I got it in my head that Cathal and Jude were one in the same.

The ending was kinda of meh for me, which bums me out a bit. I with that Olive told Rowan, Hazel, and Ivy that they're related because I think that would have a warm-fuzzies scene that would have made the ending better.

It was super interesting to find out that these kids were doing the exact same thing as their mothers just years later .... but also on the same dates??? Like ohhh kay. freaky. But over all the book was good. Not as good as her first one in my humble opinion but still very good. Really happy to see lots of diversity going on in this book as well.

Dude, yes. That whole thing with Cathal was just weird. Like ok fine he drowned or whatever (he deserved it), but how does he really fit in with the rest of the story?

Also, Mags. Whats the deal with the seemingly immortal snarky old lady. And! is she siphoning off the the life of her poor Luckys to sustain her own????????

So glad I wasn't the only one. Super dark thoughts about cranky old Mags. :D
But the last 100 pages hit us with so many revelations that I could have used a bit more clarification.
