The magic was also really cool to see in action. It showed the lengths these friends went to help each other in dire situations. It felt refreshing to read about friends who were able to tell each other off and not sugar coat anything, yet they still love each other and respect each other. It didn’t feel as if the author forced these friends together simply for being different, but that they naturally found their way to each other because they were different. From race, to sexuality, to lifestyles and identities, it felt like everyone was there but in a natural way. The cast of characters was full of diversity. We got to learn about each of their personalities and who they really were as well as their different styles of magic they possessed. At times I felt as if I had stumbled upon this group of friends by accident and knew nothing of them until they let me in little by little until the end, where I felt like I knew them my whole life.
The author brings you into the middle of the action from the very start and has you feeling as if you’re actually in the book.Īt the very beginning, it was a bit hard to remember who was who out of the big cast, which showcased the urgency in the situation involving the dead boy, but the author quickly fixes that by providing natural one on one conversations between Alexis and her best friends in the following chapters.
Which only goes to show what raw talent goes into writing.
It makes a statement, makes you ask questions, and has you demanding answers before you can even finish the paragraph. When We Were Magic by Sarah Gailey was the first book I read in this new year, and it started with a bang! You’re automatically hit with a powerful sentence that gives you no other choice but to continue reading. Together, they attempt to right their actions and try to make life go back to how it was. Wait… that was never part of the plan! When her magic goes awry, Alexis and her friends realize that they might not have that much control over their magic (and their lives) as they once thought.
She has magic that can help make her life easier and can even kill a boy accidentally. College is right around the corner as she counts her days to graduation day. Alexis has everything she could possibly want in life.
