Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman

mysterious slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

I never would have expected a book with magic in the title to be so mundane. I was bored out of my mind reading this and probably should’ve DNFed. I think because it’s a cult classic I was waiting for it to get good, and it just never did. The magic system, frequent insta-love, and good sister bad sister dichotomy all didn’t work for me. But above all the plot was just painfully slow and dull.
