Review of 'Magic Lessons' on 'Goodreads'

Very interesting book. Proof that you can tell a romantic story without making it cheesy.

The topic of magic is way more explored than in the other two, but reads and plays well with the story.

I would rate them in reverse, this being the best of the three and the first published being the worst. How things interconnect With each other almost make the existence of the first one to make sense.

Review of 'The rules of magic' on 'Goodreads'

This is what the first book should have been; and the first shouldn't even be used as fuel for a fire.

More magical, characters way less flat and you get to bond with them and grow attached while they grow as characters.

Enough mysticism to keep you interested but not much to make it pure phantasy.

Review of 'Practical Magic' on 'Goodreads'

I really wanted to like this book; despite that it was pretty dull.

I guess I was expecting more magic and less generic-drama style of writing :/

The book is mostly just love and despair stories and no real twists.

I'm already knee deep on this and I'm starting the 2nd book but mostly out of wanting to finish than because I feel involved with the story.

I could do with just reading a 2 paragraphs summary of the book TBQF
