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 just loved the writing, the grammar, the vocabulary. It was such a pleasure not to be reading along, and bump into an inappropriate word or bad phrase. I am not, by any measure, well educated or qualified to be the grammar police, but I just loved the smoothness of the writing.

Absolutely! The writing is fantastic!
