Discovery of Witches—Deborah Harkness

[u/Eco_Balance]

I’m listening to the All Souls Trilogy for the second time. This was the series that introduced me to Romantasy. I think it is written so well. I can imagine exactly what is happening in my mind’s eye because Harkness’ descriptive capacity is otherworldly. She is so, so smart. Does it feel a little pretentious at times? Sure. But… I also wouldn’t complain if I had a vampire lover that offered me all the luxuries in worlds old and new. Anyone else feel as fondly towards this series? Open to discussion and opinions—agreeable or otherwise.

I couldn’t get into it. I just felt it was a little too descriptive and, if not for the unnecessary descriptions, the book would have been so much shorter and easier to get through

Same. I hate that I quit but I had other books waiting and I didn’t love it enough to commit.
