There is something about this author I just adore. My favorites are her historical fiction works, but these are both fun and entertaining, and beautifully written. And well tied together. This one finishes the series of four books, about the Owens family and a 300 year old curse.

My one regret, is that I didn't read them in order, and the details of the prior books were hazy. I must have read Practical Magic when it first came out, could have been 20 years ago. I read the Rules of Magic and Magic Lessons, each a year apart, over a year ago. I would have liked to have seen or enjoyed it in order. I imagined a mini-series for this set of four books. I know there was a Practical Magic movie years back, but this seems to scream mini series....

This one, the Book of Magic, is the end of the series, the one that ties the beloved series up for good. That makes the other novels wrap up well. There is indeed a good feeling in that. The writing and the sentiments within are sensuous moving, and always spiritual. I like it when magic is done well, and in my book, Alice Hoffman always does magic, and love, extremely well.

Glad you liked it.
