Charmed - zauberhafte Schwestern

Isa s

As the Charmed novels are usually not very long (this was about 150 pages), they are a quick read. So I finished this in just one rainy afternoon. Still I probably wouldn't have finished it so quickly if the story hadn't gripped me.

While the first indications for the "magical influence" in the sisters' life seemed a bit queer, it later became a quite thrilling story. While I guessed some aspects of the solution, some things also escaped me until they were revealed.
The characters were true to their TV-show equivalents. I found some inconsistencies with the chronology and one contradiction with the TV-show (nothing very important and just in one throw-away sentence, so it's not a major flaw). This might not be something to prevent somebody from enjoying the story in itself, but fans of the TV-show might be bothered by it.
There was also another flaw, which could simply stem from the translation. I don't have the English original, so I can't say if it suffers under the same error: In some conversations (I think it was two times, it was certainly more than just once), the dialogue seemed out of order because Phoebe was cited as the speaker, although she clearly not spoke because she had the lines before and after the one in question. In addition I found some other passages a bit strange, probably also a translation error, but as above noted I can't give details on that (one passage actually didn't make any sense).

All in all a good book but flawed especially in the German translation.
