3.5, rounded up because I was pleasently surprised.I liked Diana (smart, smart woman “I forgive you, Kit.”Marlowe’s head swung up in surprise at my words.“Why?” he asked, dumbstruck.“Because as long as Matthew blames you for what happened to me, a part of him remains with you. Forever,” I said simpl...
I'm amazed that the phrase "It begins with absence and desire, it begins with blood and fear. It begins with a discovery of witches." after over 1200 pages still gives me chills. And now that I know the meaning behind it, even more so :-).It was a brick to swallow, but very well written and I enjoye...
This book is really hard to rate. There were definite 5-star chapters, and many, many 3-star ones as well. If that darn Ashmole 782 would've been where they thought it was, you could've cut this book in half. However, the chapters pertaining to their fathers were above and beyond some of the best pa...
Oh God, this was such a gorgeous history fest, I was probably slobbering in my excitement all over this (library) book! *only joking*Joking aside, I love Elizabethan times, and Deborah Harkness as a true historian delivered it beautifully - Kit freaking Marlow, you were such a jerk, Sir! John Dee, W...
This installment of the All Souls Trilogy is as dense as the first. While back in time, Diana and Matthew are dealing with their relationship while hiding out in Elizabethan England. The problem is that neither realized how complicated it would be or the issues of time travel at hand.The pacing of...
A wonderful second book in the trilogy. I'm really looking forward to the next one. I so enjoyed the characters in the first book and was sad to see that Matthew and Diana going back in hisotry was going to leave some of them behind. We do see glimplses of these characters but are also introduced...
Shadow of Night begins with Diana and Matthew landing in Elizabethan England right after they time-walked at the end of A Discovery of Witches. Matthew displaces himself and takes up his spying duties for Queen Elizabeth as if he's never left while Diana struggles to acclimate herself to the 1590s....
I am so glad I listened to this book on audio. Jennifer Ikeda is amazing and to be completely honest if it had not been for her wonderful voice I may have let this one go. Shadow of Night takes a long time to get into the story. While it opens with the time travel. We tend to forget what we have gon...
I loved this book for the amount of factual details Ms. Harkness included. Once again, her research was impeccable. I loved recognizing the alchemic and spiritual/metaphysical elements that are woven throughout this entire book, since I am an avid student of these subjects. The love story between Ma...
I was excited to finally get my hands on this as I really loved the first book. This book was such a disappointment. There were a bunch of little things that bothered me as read this book but three things really ruined the book for me.I found Gallowglass calling Diana Auntie extremely annoying after...
