The main character, though mad powerful, isn't perfect. Now I'm asking myself, why isn't this book just like any other story about magic, love, betrayal and everything in between? I think it comes down to some of the characterizations. I initially thought the change in narrators would be a little offputting, but I ended up really loving learning the backstories and histories of some of the characters. Morgan narrates a majority of the stories, with the last few novels switching between her and several other characters, including one of her ancestors. I hear it doesn't do justice to FULL CIRCLE’s (the 14th novel’s) wrap up. I have one caveat: I have not read the 15th book, which takes place many years after the timeline of the first 14. So it was easy to read, in nice little chunks! If I had to wait until each was published, I would not have been a happy camper. Like you, I appreciated the slim reads, but only because I had almost the entire series ready and waiting for me. Once I had finally read BOOK OF SHADOWS (Thanks, Mia!), I then zoomed through the rest of the novels.
The books didn't do much for me at first glance. One of whom was my dear friend and fellow devourer of books, Annie! (Take a look at her blog over at ) So, Annie, what did you think?Īnnie: I have to admit, the series sat on my nightstand for quite awhile before I decided to give it a shot. What's the harm? What's the harm!?!?! How about needing to devour the series as quickly as possible (15 books in total - all out for the world to read) and cursing myself for never learning to speed read! I had to - of course - send this book to as many people as possible. And since the first book was attractively thin, I figured, What's the harm?
Everything screamed, "You've read this before, move on." But I also had some very persuasive people who continued to insist that SWEEP was worth the investment. There are also some boy/love triangle-with-best-friend issues, some attempted murder, etc., etc.
The storyline sounded awfully familiar: Plain Jane character, Morgan, discovers that she's a very powerful witch, which opens a whole new world of magic and trouble for her. Marirosa Mia: If you're a friend of mine, I've probably shoved the SWEEP series in your face quite a few times.
