kristin_bee 's review for:
A Discovery of Witches
by Deborah Harkness
I was really afraid that this book would end up like "Twilight", but, thankfully, it is in a completely different galaxy than Meyer's books!!! Once I got into the book (which took a couple chapters because I was afraid of the Twilight-y-ness of it, but a recommendation by a friend reassured me that all would be well), I couldn't put it down. The mystery that centers the trilogy is grabbing and Matthew and Diana are great (Harkness has a gift for capturing the personalities of her characters--even Diana's aunts' cat has a personality and is a funny minor character)! The writing, I think, is fabulous and really brings to life Oxford, France, and Upstate New York. I CANNOT WAIT for the final book! Deborah Harnkess is a rock star!
I just finished the book (again) and it feels like coming home to an old friend. I love watching Matthew and Diana fall in love. I have been to Oxford twice since first reading this and can picture them together in those ancient streets. Such a beautiful story that can be read over and over!
