TITLE: Shadow of Night (All Souls #2)
AUTHOR: Harkness, Deborah
GENRE: Fiction/Fantasy
DATES READ: 7/15/2012 - 8/14/2012
MY RATING: 4/5
So this is my first attempt at updating my blog entry format. It needs to be more efficient (aka ONE entry per book), due to my schedule (bear with me through the transition).
My boyfriend bought me Shadow of Night right before I left for graduate school, and I considered it my last real pleasure-reading book for the next 2 years. Obviously that has turned out NOT to be the case, but that's what I thought at the time.
In comparison to the first book in the series, A Discovery of Witches, the plot continued to be very lush and detailed. Diana and Matthew's characters remain unspoiled as Harkness delves even deeper into their personae. You will find yourself loving them even more. Harkness manages to keep all of her facts straight despite the numerous Forrest Gump-esque weaving of historical fiction/fact. It was quite lovely.
I always feel as though I've been swept away while reading her work. It is a great joy and should be read by many.
