- Sarah - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "Folk Magic Celebration". The story was slow and lacked any real depth. The characters were one-dimensional and I found it hard to connect with any of them. The writing style was also quite bland and lacked any excitement or creativity. Overall, I found this book to be a major letdown and would not recommend it.
- John - 1 star - I struggled to get through "Folk Magic Celebration". The plot was extremely confusing and disjointed, making it hard to follow along. The pacing was also incredibly slow and I found myself becoming bored and uninterested in the story. The writing itself was lackluster and didn't captivate me at all. I was really disappointed with this book and would not read anything else from this author.
