Great heroine, a touch of romance, and a series of interesting problems for the witches:)<br /><br />Alison - Me too! I wouldn't mind more time with Tamsin and Gabriel. I thought it was really brilliant the way the ending of this one tied back into the beginning of book one:)<br /><br />Rummanah - I loved Gabriel too! Their relationship just seems so nice and normal - they tease one another and laugh and there's no burning desire to be around the other every moment of ever day lest they miss something vital.<br /><br />Zahdia - It was really nice to read a drama-free relationship, and their relationship just isn't the main focus at all which is refreshing sometimes:)<br /><br />Jennifer - I was too! She accepted it far quicker than I would, but who knows how I would react if it was actually my family and not hers. Couldn't agree with you more on Tamsin being solid and not needing an angst-filled romance to make me want to read more about her:)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-87982234396551980202011-11-14T11:08:48.477-05:002011-11-14T11:08:48.477-05:00I enjoyed ONCE A WITCH and was angrier then Tamsin...I enjoyed ONCE A WITCH and was angrier then Tamsin at her family's secrets. I enjoyed the concept and the story and have been looking forward to the sequel. I liked that you pointed out relationship with Gabriel isn't "all consuming" as, 1) that's not healthy, and 2) Tamsin is a solid character in her own right and doesn't need a romance to make her more interesting.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06075396524555306851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-80683701660315682822011-11-14T11:05:48.563-05:002011-11-14T11:05:48.563-05:00I haven't heard much about Once a Witch but si...I haven't heard much about Once a Witch but since you rated the sequel so highly, I'll have to check it out.

I thought the family was genius for hiding Tamsin's powers because otherwise she would have grown up very conceited due to her enhance abilities. You even see hints of a much stronger self-confidence at the start of this book. And of course hiding her powers makes sense given the ending.
