Same. I read Rules of Magic a while ago and it was really good so i'm sure the first one is too. I'll still reread Rules of Magic with you guys though cause I don't really remember much, just that I liked it.
THROUGH PART 3-I am enjoying Faith's story. The book seems to have picked up some. Maybe its jsut Maria I don't like, lol
Finished- can’t wait to hear what y’all think of this prequel. Does it seem as interesting to u as main book? Am I just overwhelmed with the back story? Should I have read in different order? I am intrigued to find out if all of the plants/concoctions are truly medicinal remedies. I know there are so many things that are all natural that were magical or of the witches previously! Will have to do some research
-through part 1I am really liking these kids, Jet, Vincent, and Frances. I like that each one is special in their own way and are figuring out their talents together.

With book #1 Magic Lessons!
Finished-oh wow(view spoiler) So far not a real big fan of this series! But will continue for the Halloween spirit if anything.
Through the end of part 2:
I'm liking the book so far. I'm also listening to the audiobook as I'm reading the book, and I like the narrator a lot. I think this can sometimes make a big difference with a book. (view spoiler)["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>

Part 4 - End:
aw, I really liked this book 🥹 I found it to be touching.
I'm glad that Faith returned to herself, even if that meant she had to break from mag..."
I also went in totally blind. I liked the book, it was just a bit slow moving, but it did get better towards the end❤️
Started
-so far enjoying however I was surprised how quickly the F word was used. I don’t recall that in the prequels.
through page 73-Jimmy doesn't seem like a good guy at all. Rude. I have never seen the movie, but may watch it tonight.
FINISHED-This by far was my favorite of the books. I liked how it wrapped it all up. I also love how strong the sister's love is and has been through the generations. This is not only a book about witches, but about family!
I'm only about 50 pages in but it's so different reading it this time, having read Magic Lessons first. It adds so much more to the story
Part 2: Alchemy
I'll write more of my thoughts later but just wanted to say (view spoiler)["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>

For more than two hundred years, the Owens women have been blamed for everything that has gone wrong in their Massachusetts town. Gillian and Sally have endured that fate as well: as children, the sisters were forever outsiders, taunted, talked about, pointed at. Their elderly aunts almost seemed to encourage the whispers of witchery, with their musty house and their exotic concoctions and their crowd of black cats. But all Gillian and Sally wanted was to escape.
One will do so by marrying, the other by running away. But the bonds they share will bring them back—almost as if by magic...
