A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Oh my word! What an amazing read! It took me a while to actually start the book, required a few starts but once one get into the story, it is very hard to put down. Ms Harkness has created such an interesting world and the historical references were such a thrill. Her attention to detail, as well as the time taken to include those details are truly appreciated by this reader. Had a bit of a chuckle to read that so many vampires and witches are in academics, definitely not the typical professions of supernatural creatures in other books, refreshing nonetheless.
Matthew and Diana's journey is too sweet for words. One of the reasons I was reluctant to read this book was the reluctance to read a love story between a vampire and a witch. Of course, Diana is not the typical witch and Matthew is absolutely not the typical vampire, even within this story. His persona is so rich in history and experiences, and is surely difficult to be rivaled by any other. Can't wait to read the continuation of their journey!
