A Discovery of Witches is a paranormal romance novel. It is the first book in the All Souls Series. The book is written by Deborah Harkness. She is an American scholar, historian, and novelist. All Souls Trilogy is her best literary world in which the subject title is her bestseller. Shadow of Night and The Book of Life are the two other chapters in the trilogy.
The audio narration of A Discovery of Witches is done by Jennifer Ikeda. The performance was slightly monotonous but the listeners could still live with it considering the type of story it is and the characters it has.
This bestseller in the New York Times will offer listeners an incredibly imaginative adult fantasy. It will offer all the magic of Twilight and Harry Potter.
A Discovery of Witches is a sparkling debut novel by Deborah Harkness. She has managed to create a fantasy world that rivals those of Diana Gabaldon, Anne Rice, and Elizabeth Kostova. This is the book that brought Deborah under the spotlight and it galvanized fans all across the globe.
Diana Bishop is the main character in this story of obsession and passion. She was a descendant of witches and a young scholar as well. She came across a long-lost and magical kind of alchemical manuscript which was Ashmole 782. T was found somewhere deep in the Bodleian Library of Oxford. The reappearance of the same called for a fantastical underworld which she navigated along with Matthew Clairmont, her leading man, and a vampire geneticist.
The book has pretty much abusive romance while the story was reasonably good. The audio narration was not up to the mark.
