Book Review of Simply Magic

Simply Magic
Simply Magic
Author: Mary Balogh
Genre: Romance
Book Type: Hardcover
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 1


Simply Magic is not one of Mary Balogh's more compelling reads. Neither the story nor the characters are particularly memorable. I could easily put the book down, and not feel the need to return to it quickly. The story is pleasant enough, and the characters are likeable, but there was not enough conflict or something to propel it forward.

Mary Balogh is usually a wonderful storyteller, but this time she seemed to be on autopilot. She is a talented enough author that even her weaker efforts are still pretty good, but I would recommend reading some books on her backlist before Simply Magic.
