A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness

A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness published on No Comments on A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness

In A Discovery of Witches, magically gifted but power-blocked witch Diana finds a medieval manuscript that witches, daemons and vampires want, falls in love with a 1500-year-old vampire and struggles to prevent war between various groups of supernaturals, all while trying to master her own magic. Grace notes about the joys of old books and libraries, as well as a learned, persistent treatment of alchemy, make this one more interesting than the average, but it still is a heavily predictable and somewhat silly beginner for a trilogy. I’m still curious to read the sequels, though.
