A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness
5.0
Words do not begin to describe all that is the introductory book to the All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness. "A Discovery of Witches" impressed me with the unique scholarly aspect of alchemy histories and those that live supernaturally in the regular world.
This novel swept me off my feet from the beginning. Harkness added depth of character and developed a magical world that I couldn't get enough of. The main characters are unique and each side character has their own personalities that directly impact the story.
The use of magic (or the lack in some cases) is tasteful and intriguing in every sense. If you enjoy fiction, if you like supernatural topics (vampires, witches, daemons), if you like history/studying, then this book is for you.
I am so excited to delve into book two!
Right. This. Very. Moment!
Happy Haunting!
