Here is my book review of Shadow of Night, the sequel to A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness.
I loved this book! It is an epic tome, but well worth taking
the time to read. After A Discovery of Witches, I couldn’t wait to get hold of
the sequel. I have to admit it seemed a bit slow to take off. I almost got bored of it, but not so badly
that I gave up reading. Once I was able to dedicate some proper time to immerse
myself in it, I became lost in the world traversed by witch Diana Bishop and her
vampire husband Matthew, a man of many secrets and as many alter egos. I loved
the description of Elizabethan England and the intrigue of international
politics and religion at the time. The book finished at the beginning of a new
journey, and now I look forward to the next instalment. If you want to know
more about real witches, you have to read this!
