A Discovery of Witches (All Souls, #1)

This novel is a masterpiece.
It's tempting to compare it to other works so as to characterize it but to do so would be a disservice.
Prof. Harkness writes well and her story-telling is engaging and suspenseful. She masterfully weaves together history, science, alchemy, illuminated manuscripts, love, sex, war, and family dynamics.
You'll enjoy this novel and then you'll be eager for the sequel.
Highly recommended.

I read this book earlier this year. I loved the story. I found it very hard to put down. It's one of those books you can read again and again.

I'm glad you also enjoyed it. The rest of the series was just as good!

Thanks everyone.Midway through the novel, I ordered the second and third volumes so I wouldn't have to wait.
Looking forward to what comes next ...

Great review SR! I've ordered this one but I'm still waiting for it to arrive from the UK. Looking forward to reading when it arrives. Thanks for the recommendation btw!
Love this series and I got to meet Deborah Harkness at a book signing for book 3, The Book of Life.

So glad you loved it. Come visit us at Daemons Discuss when you've finished. We'd love to know your thoughts.jeannie
Great review SR. I’m a reader who likes to live each page. However, I’m going to up my pace, as the book has recently been dramatised on SkyTV and I have about a week to binge watch all the episodes! I better get back to reading.😍📚
I’ve just watched the first season of the tv show and loved it, although I didn’t realise the last episode I watched was the end of the season so ended with a huge cliffhanger ...Maybe reading the books is a better option right now lol
