The Book of Life by Deborah Harkness

mysterious relaxing fast-paced

2.5

The Book of Life is the final book in the All Souls trilogy by Deborah Harkness. The book is quite unremarkable really. Halfway through it, I figured out the mystery of the Ashmole manuscript, the book of life, and Diana Bishop's role in all this. The genetics research bit might be somewhat interesting but the rest of the text is quite cumbersome. I am one of those people who finish a particular set however hard the road is. This book has none of the freshness of the first or the fascinating historical backdrop of the second one of the trilogy.
