annarella 's review for:

The Book of Magic by Alice Hoffman
5.0

This book made me smile, cry a bucket and turn pages as fast as I could.
It's slow burning and the first part is an introduction to the story as well as a recap of what happened.
It talks love, family, sacrifice. It's poignant, gripping and entertaining.
I love the Owen women, I cried saying goodbye to Jet and welcomed the new generation.
There're new characters, there's plenty going and plenty of mysteries being solved.
I don't know if we will meet these women again, I would be happy to know what will happen after the last chapter.
Even if it could be read as a standalone it can be fully appreciated if you read the previous book.
I loved it and it's strongly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Edelweiss for this ARC, all opinions are mine
