"The Second book is as good as the First"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Another winner from Deborah Harkness. Her historical depth really makes the story come alive. I feel like I'm learning more about history, while I'm enjoying a really good page turner. Again, worth the money.

"Nice fantasy"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I enjoyed this book even though it wasn't quite as good as the first volume The Discovery of Witches (Novelty effect-). If you brush up a little bit on C16 English personalities before you read it, it will be even more enjoyable. I recommend this book. Great escapism!

"Holy history lesson"

Fantastic, going back to 1590 ..... Wouldn’t have liked to wear the period clothes though. Had me from start to finish

Description

It began with A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES. Historian Diana Bishop, descended from a line of powerful witches, and long-lived vampire Matthew Clairmont have broken the laws dividing creatures. When Diana discovered a significant alchemical manuscript in the Bodleian Library, she sparked a struggle in which she became bound to Matthew. Now the fragile coexistence of witches, daemons, vampires and humans is dangerously threatened. Seeking safety, Diana and Matthew travel back in time to London, 1590. But they soon realise that the past may not provide a haven. Reclaiming his former identity as poet and spy for Queen Elizabeth, the vampire falls back in with a group of radicals known as the School of Night. Many are unruly daemons, the creative minds of the age, including playwright Christopher Marlowe and mathematician Thomas Harriot. Together Matthew and Diana scour Tudor London for the elusive manuscript Ashmole 782, and search for the witch who will teach Diana how to control her remarkable powers...
