I just read this volume yesterday, and my first thought was: Isn't it kinda weird that everybody suddenly liked Wicca as if without cause nor reason. And they all think it's perfectly normal to chant in a circle...who agrees with me?

Yeah it is kinda weird. I think that they were just curious because it was all new to them. I think real people would probably just leave straight away the moment they found out what it was all about (Wicca & witchy stuff). Maybe a lot of the kids also thought that Cal was cool enough to hang out with no matter what they did...
I suppose so, but that was, in my opinion, one of the major plot faults.
Yeah that's true. But some people did leave the group when they first met.. But otherwise I thought it was an amazing book ;D
I think the weirdest part of all was when they all jump into the pool naked without thinking it was odd...or was that in the second book?
Don't know which book it was but that's so true! I was also thinking like ""What the hell ?!" ... I totally understood why Morgan didn't want to jump in naked! I mean no normal person would!
Exactly, I wouldn't! And they're all like, "this is totally normal," which it isn't...That one particular scene should've been cut out by the editor.
Or they should've kept on their underwear or tops! It's kinda awkward talking to your best friend or some guy you see everyday without any clothes on XD.
Yeah, and they all acted as if they do it everyday. I would never want to see any of my friends, male or female, naked. And I certainly wouldn't want them to see me naked...
See,I always thought the fact that they joined in on the group so fast was easy to believe because I WAS one of those teenagers who was always looking for something like that. It would've been like a great adventure. Not sure about the skinny dipping though. No girl in her right mind would jump into a CLEAR pool naked. Maybe a deep pond or lake, but never a pool.
At the beginning I thought it was just me the one that find those moments a little bizarre (because I live in Dominican Republic) and my culture is really different.Don't get me wrong, I really love the book but that moment at the pool really knock my mind, I was like "you're kidding me, right?...Is that so normal for kids over there?" XD
What really surprise me was the change of the main male character... I hope I don't spoil anything (cause I read all 10 first books)
... I mean we spend a few book with Cal (and we were so in love with him) and later *puff* he's mean (we hate him now) and another male come along (we fell in love with him).
What the h*ll with that? I wasn't waiting for that
I guess I saw it coming. I never trust the male lead when they're as perfect as Cal was. With the new guy I just sensed it because of the energy between them. I've read the whole series twice and now I'm about to read her next series Balefire. I'm excited because I just love her style. Most of us don't skinny dip by the way, we aren't half as cool as the teens in this series. :)
Totally true!! I love the way she writes. It's like experiencing a whole new world.
an interesting series and i liked reading this book...and i agree ^^^^^^
I recently read it i thought the 1st one was okay it looks like it gonna get better judging the way it ended
i liked this book i just havent got to reading the rest of the series yet
i never thought about it but i suppose
I absolutely loved this entire series. I read all 15 books, and it was definately worth it. :~>

I've read almost all of the books i think that I have one left... This is honestly one of my favorite series. I'm totally addicted

Yes, sher did. didn't like the idea of Wicca but I am convincing her that i would NEVER go into stuff like that and I just wanna know what happens

Yeah. My mom read them at the same time I did and she knows that I would never get into that kind of stuff. I'm lucky I guess. I can tell you what happens if you want but I don't know how much sense it will make.
Yeah, I'll wait and see if she lets me read them.
K. Well if she doesn't then I will tell you about them and how the series ends.
I haven't read these books in years so forgive me if I make a mistake.No, I'm not surprised that most of the characters were interested in Wicca. If you think about it, horoscopes and mediums are a type of divination which is often linked with Wicca. Back in High School, I bought a cheap pack of Tarot cards (I knew that human Psychology played a part in it but I bought it anyway) and everyone I knew wanted a reading. I had a classmate who read auras and was very into crystals and people were interested and flocked to her to get a reading.
I still think that Wicca is very interesting and it interests a lot of youngsters and women as certain divination is surrounded with mystery and empowers women.
It's a mysterious and magical religion so why wouldn't people jump at the chance to do it?
As for the pool thing, I'm not really sure as I can't recall the scene at all. Again, psychology could play a part in it with the need to conform but hormones could have a lot to do with it. If they did some magic just before then it could be the reason why. It's said that energy from magic could also influence people's behaviour.
I've heard and read teenager who have done a lot more than jump into a pool naked so at the time, I didn't think it was such a big deal.
i think if a cute guy asked me to hag out and do wicca i would probably do it but that's my option. :)
I have all the books Sweep and I love it. It is danger power. I can't believe that 14th book the circle already broken and They have their own future life. I can't believe. She don't write anymore. I wish Cate Tiernan write 16th book about circle reunion in ears later. I wish she write like this.
I have my own sweep books, Wow it is amazing powerful of witches who Morgan belong to. I love the way Morgan beginning to learn and unknown the mother from the past Why murdered. My mother was murdered when I was 11 and I found out I am witch which comes from my late mom and her past foremothers. I never know all about her until I was 27 and found out. I am 48 and will be 49 this year. I am fond of this books just like me. MY family are chrisitan. Not me, lol.
