White Is for Magic (Stolarz Series) by Laurie Faria Stolarz


White for Magic is the second book in this series. It is cute but repetitive which made it a bit boring. The formulaic writing process makes it difficult to enjoy since you can pretty much figure out what is going to happen. I am unsure if I will continue with this series, for now I am going to have to put it aside and contemplative coming back go it at a later date, as it makes for a very frustrating read.

The characters are well developed but the story just doesn't "grab" you. The ending is rather anti-climatic and quick. I am rather dissapointed since I wanted to enjoy and learn more about the characters in this series.


Grade: C-


Synopsis
