A Pinch of Magic by Michelle Harrison

I'm a sucker for a good magical story, and A Pinch of Magic delivers. Michelle Harrison's writing is like a warm hug on a cold day - it's cozy, it's comforting, and it's full of wonder.

A Magical Page-Turner with a Spellbinding Cover and Storyline!

summarizeEditor's Summary

I dove headfirst into Michelle Harrison's 'A Pinch of Magic' and was hooked from the start. The cover's got a real enchanting quality to it, and the story's action-packed with plenty of twists and turns. The writing's engaging for both kids and adults, and the characters are genuinely likable. My only real issue is with the publisher - there are way too many typos for my taste. The book itself is a delight to hold, with a nice weight and a mini map of Raven's Peak that adds a nice touch, but the publisher could've done a better job with editing and proofreading.

I'm super stoked to share my review of Michelle Harrison's first book in the Widdershins Sisters series, 'A Pinch of Magic'! The cover is seriously enchanting, I just had to dive in. And, trust me, it's a wild ride that'll keep you hooked till the very end.
The book itself is a delight to hold, not too heavy, and it even comes with a mini map of Raven's Peak, where the main characters live. The design is top-notch! However, I do have some issues with the publisher. Why so many typos? I mean, I've seen more in one book than I care to admit. Alpina Z, get your editors in check!
Now, onto the story. It's action-packed from the get-go, with plenty of twists and turns to keep you on your toes. I love that it's engaging for both kids and adults, as the plot is genuinely intriguing! There aren't any graphic scenes, but it'll still make you nervous in some parts – I found myself holding my breath while reading certain moments. The blurb didn't really grab me, but the content more than made up for it.
The main characters, Fliss, Betty, and Charlie, are all lovable in their own ways, and I enjoyed getting to know each of them. They're on a mission to uncover a dark family curse and break it, but will they succeed? You'll have to read it to find out!
At the end of the book, there's a fun bonus – a quiz to see which Widdershins sister you are! I thought that was a great idea.
Magic is woven throughout the story, and I particularly enjoyed the tale of Sorsha Spellthorn – I was just as invested in it as Betty was! As the author says, 'A witch sounded more impressive than a witch, and a witch was certainly capable of casting a curse.'
A witch. It sounded more impressive than a witch, and a witch was certainly capable of casting a curse.
This isn't just a lighthearted fairy tale for kids, though. It's a story that teaches valuable lessons about kindness, loyalty, and friendship. It shows how losing loved ones can be devastating and how important they are in our lives, even when we take them for granted...
She'd lived her whole life, belatedly realizing that the highest thing she could aspire to was family. What could be more important than loving and being loved? What was the point of adventures if you couldn't share them with anyone? Besides sisters and her grandmother, she'd had no one.
There's also betrayal, some pretty nasty and unfair. Sadly, this can happen in real life, often due to jealousy.
But envy doesn't just disappear when you get what you want. If you're used to feeling it, you'll just find something else to be envious of. It's not about the thing itself; it's about what's lacking.
I'm thoroughly impressed with this book. The author's writing style is engaging, with its own quirks (like 'galloping nags' or 'a raven's got you'). It's an easy, fun read, and I found myself completely absorbed in the story – even when I was sitting in the park, surrounded by distracting bugs! That's a testament to how well it's written. I highly recommend 'A Pinch of Magic' to all fantasy fans, especially the ladies out there. Give it a read and enjoy!
