Charmed: The War on Witches: Charmed Series #1

I’ve missed this world so much, what took me so long to finally read this book and the comics? I can’t tell you but all the feels are here. OG charmed fan for life

I was pretty impressed. Overall, a lot of the dialogue seemed to stay true to the characters. As I was reading, I could sometimes hear pieces of it in my head as though it was being spoken aloud by Prue, Piper, Phoebe or Paige. I was also glad there was no mention of Billy, a character I never much cared for. I'll likely check out some of the other Charmed books now available on Amazon.

I like how the author was true to the characters and their nature. I dislike the constant bouncing around in the story it did make it confusing at times. I would recommend this to all fans of the original charmed.

I have watched the entire series, all 8 seasons, 10 times through, so I am very familiar with all the characters. When reading, I could vividly see and hear Paige say and do everything the author wrote. Her voice came naturally. The same thing even happened with Victor at the end. But not with phoebe, piper, or prue. I really struggled believing these 3 characters were the same 3 women from the show. Prue is super intense, all the time. She is proud (remember she was infected with Pride as her deadly sin), but that seemed to be missing from her personna in the book. Piper and phoebe's characters also fell short, I had a hard time hearing or seeing them come to life in this book. The word choices and their behaviors didn't seem to really "be them".

I gave charmed the war on witches five stars because like the tv show it's a masterpiece well concocted I love the sibling bond the three sisters share I have seen every single episode of charmed more than once and i have to say reading this book for me was like watching a episode unfold and I was blown away how they brought prue and Cole back along for the ride I can't find a dislike for this book I'm sorry and I know some haters will disagree but let them I recommend this book to all the charmed fans out there and any newcomers well let's just say I put a spell on you to read this book

I couldn't believe there was a 9th season in a book and I was very excited. This book did not disappoint me and to know Prue came back as well as my favorite character, Cole.

The book is advertised as "Charmed: The War on Witches: Charmed Series #1". Well, either the author included a lot of developments that he plans on expounding on in subsequent books or this isn't the first in the series. For example: Prue and Cole have returned from the dead. There was some explanation but not enough to answer my questions.Otherwise, good book with an interesting plot.

I loved the TV series and now I am hooked on the book. It was the first I've read. I liked that it was a sequel to the last episode-ish. I want original stories for these "girls" and hope there are more. The ones I found are past stories, but because I still watch the reruns, I decided not to read them. I'm definitely waiting for more...

As a fan of charmed, I’m pleased with the result of this book. It took me two days to finish the book, yes it was that good!

I enjoyed this book very much. Was a nice trip down memory lane. I enjoyed the show when it was on t.v.

Best ending for the show. Please don't have a season 11, this is the end I've always with a Prue at peace but a Shannen Doherty tghat still won't allow the produceurs to use her face so they had to reincarnate her with a new face.

libro affascinante, peccato non esista in formato cartaceo, sperando che un giorno esca, consiglio altamente la lettura se si è fan della serie

I couldn't put this down from the moment I started reading it. Once again, Ruditis excels at channeling the Charmed universe (which now includes the continuity that he's created) into another excellent novel. The characters read like they do onscreen/in the comics and the general tone captures its TV predecessor extremely well.The story follows the season 9 comics (yes, you will need to read those for this book to make sense), where Prue is getting used to her new role as the Guardian of the Nexus and Piper, Paige and Phoebe adjust to having their sister back. They also find themselves facing a group of people who are ambushing witches and stealing their active powers, but not all is as it seems.Ruditis manages to create a complex and interesting villain, along with a range of subcharacters that are fascinating and just as real at the Halliwells, who we have already known for years. I especially hope that Eleazar will appear in later stories. The character development is just brilliant- you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll stop to think "wooaah!". Reading this book was almost like watching a new episode of Charmed.The only criticism I have is that Ruditis makes two continuity errors- whilst errors are par for the course in TV tie-in novels, I didn't expect Ruditis to make them. But they're tiny things that aren't particularly relevant to the overall plot, so I will let them slide (in one chapter, Paige drinks wine with Phoebe- Paige is a former alcoholic and doesn't drink throughout the course of the show- and later Paige introduces herself as Piper and Phoebe's stepsister. Although I think the latter could possibly be a typo, since Ruditis mentions Patty and Sam earlier in the book).Overall, a definite must-read for all Charmed fans. And, if you haven't read season 9, you best do that first (the volumes are available on Amazon, so you have no excuse). Then move on to season 10 (penned by Pat Shand, edited by Paul Ruditis, available from Zenescope, Amazon and most comic book stores if you ask nicely).
