Time's Convert is an intriguing prequel and sequel to Deborah Harkness All Souls trilogy that, at times, it was difficult to keep a track of the narrative with it jumping between Marcus Whitmore's backstory and the present for Diana Bishop and Matthew de Claremont and their children and Phoebe Taylor, a human warmblood and Marcus' mate as she becomes a vampire.
It does not capture my imagination in the same way that A Discovery of Witches did, however it was still worth reading just to get the history of Matthew's son, Marcus and how they become fledgling vampires!

I Loved the first three books in the trilogy and very much enjoyed the revisiting the characters however, the editing was off on this book. And unfortunately, it repeatedly took me out of the magic of this story.
