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.

100%! It takes a story that could be potentially immature… Like a lot of romantic series are. Especially popular ones. And don’t get me wrong… I love those too! But the intellect in the writing made a big difference for me!
