"Circle of Three" (a series of books by Isobel Bird PDF Print E-mail

A little background before the actual review is in order, I feel.

First, I am NOT a teen and normally wouldn’t have even looked twice at these books, if my 21-year-old daughter had not bought them.

Second, I have been so involved lately in reading "serious" books about the Craft that I had almost forgotten that some people aren’t immersed in it deeply.

Third, I personally feel that any book which is an obviously anti-Witch tirade can help to expose people to the fact that Witches still exist, and that we are indistinguishable from the general population for all practical purposes (and, for the record, I LOVE the Harry Potter Books).

Fourth, I normally don’t do reviews on books in the popular press, but since the author’s bio in the back said (in it’s entirety): "Isobel Bird has been involved in the world of witchcraft for many years. She lives and dances beneath the moon somewhere in New  England," I decided to read and review the three books I had available (out of at least four published so far).

When I started reading this novel, I thought to myself, “X-Men or Mutant X material.”  This book is intended to be the introduction to a series of books for teens put out by a subsidiary of Disney Enterprises.

By reviewing THIS book HERE, I am sure that I am opening myself to a world of hurt, so please read the following CAREFULLY! 

1)  I am not a newbie; I have over a quarter of a century experience as a practicing member of the Pagan/Craft community.

2)  I am not particularly a fan of the TV show "Charmed".  I think I have seen about four or five episodes all the way through.

3) This book was purchased, not sent to me for review.

4) Short comments are welcome on the mailing list, longer letters should be sent to my personal email, to avoid wasting bandwidth and people's download time.
