I enjoyed this book. I found the middle bit to be a slog. I was so frustrated with the characters but ultimately I did appreciate the ending and what it took to get there.

This is one of those books that is beautifully simple. I had wanted to read it since I was a fan of the Practical Magic film. This book has a simple storyline heavily influenced by early American history. It is well-written and has beauty and elegance in its style. I loved the inclusion of herbal remedies from the different areas visited. I also loved the additions of little fun facts of historical peoples and events especially the information about Captain Kidd and his relationship to Trinity Church which I admit I looked up to verify and find out more. It didn't have any sense of urgency or tension in the climax scenes. I just enjoyed reading it but it didn't thrill me or evoke any special senses.

"TO ANY MAN WHO EVER LOVES AN OWENS, LET THIS CURSE BEFALL YOU, LET YOUR FATE LEAD TO DISASTER, LET YOU BE BROKEN IN BODY AND SOUL, AND MAY IT BE THAT YOU NEVER RECOVER."
PRACTICAL MAGIC WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES GROWING UP! I CAN'T BELIEVE I'VE WAITED SO LONG TO READ THE SERIES.
I'VE DECIDED TO READ THE SERIES IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER.
MAGIC LESSONS UNVEILS THE ORIGIN STORY OF THE CENTURY OLD CURSE THAT HAS FOLLOWED THE OWEN'S WOMEN IN PRACTICAL MAGIC.
REMEMBER ONE THING, ALWAYS LOVE SOMEONE WHO WILL LOVE YOU BACK.

Hard for me to rate because I honestly can't even remember when I started it, just when I bought it. The middle was a slog for me if I'm being honest, but it picked up around the end, which I enjoyed quite a bit.
