Title: A Discovery of Witches
Author: Deborah Harkness
Number of Pages: 592
Genre: Fiction - supernatural
Book Number/Goal: 4/20 in one year
My rating: 5/5
Review: I LOVED this book! :D
There are two main characters - Diana Bishop is an historian and a reluctant witch, and Matthew Clairmont is a vampire geneticist. This had me a little worried - is this just another vampire/witch story churned out to cash in on the latest fad in movies/books.
Hell No!
Deborah Harkness is a great writer - her descriptive style is not too heavy, not too light, so it doesn't detract from the flow of the story. I was hooked from the first page and gladly followed Diana - a loner academic - whose life gets thrown into turmoil by a future she has resisted since childhood.
The relationship between Diana and Matthew develops beautifully, and there are many other very well written characters along the way to add drama and interest to a riveting story.
I'm most happy that it ends in such a way that Deborah can write a sequel :D
IMHO - an awesome, must-read book!
