*Previously published as THE BOOK OF MAGIC*

The breathtaking conclusion to the Practical Magic series – a spellbinding and bewitching novel that asks: How far will you go to change your fate

For more than three hundred years, a curse has kept the Owens family from love – but all that is about to change. The novel begins in a library, the best place for a story to be conjured, when beloved aunt Jet Owens hears the deathwatch beetle and knows she has seven days to live. Jet is not the only one in danger – the curse is already at work.

A frantic attempt to save a young man’s life spurs three generations of the Owens women – and one long-lost brother – to use their unusual gifts to break the curse as they travel from Paris to London to the English countryside, where their ancestor Maria Owens first practiced the Unnamed Art. The younger generation discovers secrets that have been hidden from them in matters of both magic and love by Sally Owens, their fiercely protective mother. As Kylie Owens uncovers the truth about who she is and what her own dark powers are, her aunt Franny comes to understand what she herself is ready to sacrifice, and Sally realizes that she is willing to give up everything for love. A heartfelt and satisfying conclusion to a beloved series, Practical Magic 2 celebrates mothers and daughters, sisters and brothers, and anyone who has ever been in love.

The book of magic takes place a few years after the practical magic book and introduces us to a lot of new characters as well as the previously known ones. It is here that a careful listener/reader to the book series realizes how fabricated the characters are. It is the privilege of the author to change the history of relationship and personality traits of the characters such as the sexual preference to fit a narrative framework (or popular opinion). But the inner monologues of the new characters and repetitive phrases such as „raw emotions“ „before he knew who he was“ „live alot“ bring unwanted light on how monodimensional all the characters are constructed. The main form of identification and personal development, it seems, lies in the sexual identification and rushing into sexual relations rather than good tender storytelling. The narrative feels slow and rigid although time and action are important, the story becomes unrealistic altogether due to repetitive phrases and already mentioned historical sidenotes.

average ending to a promising magic start
