I started it the minute I got it but made myself wait until Halloween to finish the book because I wanted to enjoy the book to the fullest. I absolutely loved this prequel to the amazing Practical Magic books. Multiple Witch Way-Themed Vol. 3 Author Signature Book Plates, Autographs for Books//Bookplates//Practical Magic//Witch//Halloween Bookplate My thoughts: While I enjoyed this one, it didn’t grab me personally as much as Practical Magic (which I read first) did. I think it’s because it feels more plot-driven, and I prefer character-driven books. The setting of the house and the town were great, the creepiness of Angelov is also so well done, you’re on edge with the sisters at times as things are obviously not okay after his death, and Sally is a bit more accepting of magic in the movie. My thoughts: I found Magic Lessons to be both lyrical and stunning. I had never read about the Salem witch trials before, and I don’t read much from that time period, so it really intrigued and immersed me. While this series is about love at its core, I found this book to be very much about mothers and daughters too.
