Reader ReviewsThe editing hasn't gotten any better than it was in the first 2, the writing is a bit better but still clumsy, and the author still has a tendency to preach. That said, I still like it, rather a lot. It's the most realistic portrayal of Wicca I've seen yet. I get the feeling he's sort of writing a character loosely based on himself and his own wife. It makes a real change from the other stuff out there, and while I mentioned the editing and stuff, all that's not really a flaw. The only thing I really consider a flaw is the lack of a sense of humor in the books. Yes, grim situation and all, but humor is still a good thing. For the fantastic element, I'd recommend .. in adition to these... the Weetzie Bat books, which have a terrific sense of humor, and are generaly less grim. But if you like grim, I'd say go with Andrew Vachss, who does grim better than anyone, only with funny bits too. Remember: your mind is like soup. What ingredients you put in affect the flavor of the whole thing.
