slow-paced
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? No
3.5
Overall, I enjoyed reading A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness. While not perfect and monumentally impressive, Harkness has written a story and characters you can be very fond of—I am now very fond of. I was curious and delighted enough that I wanted to continue reading onto the next book of the trilogy, entitled All Souls, A Discovery of Witches is part of. Perhaps also watch the tv series based on the trilogy, as well.
I would recommend this book to readers looking for a fantasy that’s more driven by the romance side of the story than adventure. To people looking for something light (story-wise) to read without compromising some fantasy aspects and a bit of thrill and mystery. Just like I was warned by the review that recommended this book, be patient with the pacing and the clichés. Give the story and characters a chance and I think one can easily find this book enjoyable too.
