I finally read this book after years of having it on my shelf. It was hard for me to get into at first because the writing style is so different than most books. It reads like a fairytale rather than a start-to-finish story. When I switched over to the audiobook it was much more enjoyable. The last part, levitation, was my favorite part of the book. My favorite part is the relationship between sisters and the witchy vibes. I really do with their was more dialogue to love the. plot along instead of narration. I also think I went in a little biased because I’ve seen and loved the movie way before I even knew the book existed, so the book’s story wasn’t as lively for me. But overall I really enjoyed the book.
