Book Review of A Discovery of Witches (All Souls, Bk 1)

A Discovery of Witches (All Souls, Bk 1)

8 hours of my life I'll never get back.

My objection is less to this book and more to the sequel (they are written as one story so you don't end with this book). Both are densely written - but book 2 is nothing more than an exercise in literary self-indulgence. Harkness writes to emphasize her interests and knowledge and not to create an interesting and enjoyable story for the reader.

My advise - find a better writer.
