Book Reviews of Circle of Three #7: Blue Moon

Book Review: A Lesson in Wiccan
Summary: 2 Stars

The Circle of Three series is about three teenagers - Kate, Cooper and Annie who are practicing the Wiccan religion. The difference in this series (and perhaps the problem) is that each book does not have a beginning, middle and end, but is rather the continuing story of three girl's lives. Reading one out of sequence is confusing as it picks up right where the last one left off, and the events that take place are more like a sequence of events, rather than a structured plot with character building, suspense and a climax. For that reason it is hard to review just one book separately, as each one should be considered as one big novel divided into separate books.
However, the books do have their merits - they successfully jump onto the Wiccan/witchcraft/pagan bandwagon that everyone seems to be so obessed with lately, and provides an unbiased and realistic view of this religion as it appears today. Whether you believe in it or not, the books serve to shatter several damaging stero-types.
In this case, one of the main heroines, the slightly shy, bookish Annie invokes the goddess Freya to uplift her self-esteem in a ritual known as 'aspecting'. Gaining some of the goddess's characteristics such as confidence and assertion, Annie struts her new life-style, causing minor damage on the way. But it is only minor damage, and when her friends tell her how she's behaving, she reverses the 'spell' and regains her normal personality. See what I mean about no climax?
But I'm being unfair, because these books aren't written for riveting reading. They are written for a open-minded, realistic view at the Wiccan religion seen through the eyes of three young people, and in doing that it succeeds.

Summary of Circle of Three #7: Blue Moon

Ancient moon, O ageless traveler,
sailing on the sea of stars,
as once more you come to fullness,
turn your shining face to ours.

The second full moon of the month -- the blue moon -- is a time when powers are heightened, with unpredictable results. When Annie attempts the channeling practice called aspecting, she changes into someone Cooper and Kate hardly recognize. Can their combined strength restore Annie's spirit?
