Shadow of Night

Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness

I will be honest. I was the only person in the book club that loved the second installment in the All Souls Trilogy. I loved following more of Diana and Matthew's mystery, the historical figures weaved into the story, the details about Elizabethan England... After hearing what my friends had to say and reading some reviews, I can see where people were disappointed. They wanted more action, a faster pace, fewer characters - sure. There was a lot of detail, things were slow to happen, and the list of characters was very long (but there is a list in the back of the book to keep you on track!)... but, I still loved it. I am kind of surprised. I have been known to quit a boring book, but it was 600 pages and I couldn't put it down.... I must have liked it, haha.

I am looking forward to the final book to coming out, and I hope the conclusion is just as good!

I recommend!
