This entertaining book has something for everyone . . . history, alchemy, intrigue, witches, and vampires. Author Deborah Harkness uses her background as a professor of history at the University of Southern California and writer of an award-winning wine blog to place well-rounded characters in vivid setting. You will find yourself waiting impatiently for volume two of this trilogy!
Add to that a sweet, dangerous romance all the more real because of what seems to be its doomed end, and herein is the perfect combination, preciously difficult to adequately encompass in any brief review. This tale is a smart, tense, provocative, and enchanting read you will not want to end and will be relishing long after the last page is turned. This reviewer is so looking forward to the sequel to this amazing novel which will be a best seller!!! Absolutely delightful and impossible to put down!
