It begins with Absence and Desire.
It begins with Blood and Fear.
It begins with a Discovery of Witches.
I can’t get enough of this magical world! This must be my fourth reread (2022) of this book and I still LOVE it!
Deborah Harkness brings a magical world to life in a steady pace that keeps you turning pages to find out more. Building up the characters backstories and slowly linking the two MC characters together in the way she did made me feel more invested into the characters and their lives.
As the story progresses, you meet a number of different characters and how they are linked to the MC’s forbidden love. How they will all help Diana & Matthew to make this world a better place for all creatures, to secure a future for many generations to come.
This books comes full of mystery, history, romance, family, danger and of course magic! Creating that atmosphere in this magical world that keeps you wanting more is what brings me back each time, and to once again meet Diana & Matthew.
Even though this is a reread for me, I am excited to continue and join Diana & Matthew in the past to learn more history and watch them evolve through the series. If you haven’t yet picked up this series I recommend you should if you love all things magic! 🥰 x
