Witness my beauty, behold my youth

  Couldn't have said it better than Anthony Manno in the readers' review:
"The Warren Witches" would suggest that we are getting a series of stories that explain the Warren legacy from the beginning. What we get (with two exceptions) is a series of time travel adventures. Anyone who knows the television show will agree with Grams at the end of "Something Old, Something New"-time travel is a headache. It causes too many inconsistencies, and fans do notice. It is also clear that the writers did not do this collection as a collaboration because there are story to story inconsistencies.
No new characters are introduced and Prue and Chris are missing completely.
