The Book of Life by Deborah Harkness

5.0

Should not have been a trilogy- Should’ve been a very long series

Should not have been a trilogy- Should’ve been a very long series.

I say this with the upmost respect and admiration. If you go back to my Discovery of Witches (book 1) review), I had a couple of complaint. Book 2, I rated 5 stars but left no review for a variety of (I shall not speak) reasons. But I WILL say, the trilogy got better with each book (which rarely happens) and I’m sad to see it end (though I will read book 4). Deborah Harkness, if you happen to read this, I want you to know that I hope your book becomes infamous. And that historians 500 years from now savor your craft.

**I LOVE, I mean LOVE him, Jack. The character development here cannot be touched. I want him as my child!

While my grievances are nothing, really, I have to state them because that’s what I do when I leave reviews.

1). I wish the BIG (and final for the book) council meeting was actually written. Many will probably disagree but I truly wish it was.
2). I wish there was an epilogue.

That’s it. Wonderful writing. Deborah’s stories grew and grew. And I’m utterly satisfied. Except for the fact that it’s the end. But, alas, it was probably for the best in the age of dragging things through the dirt just to make a buck. Much respect to the author.
