I guess the good news about Deborah Harknesss The Book of Life is I didnt throw it across the room in disgust. I couldn'tit's too damn dumb to make me angry. Mostly I shook my head in bewilderment at the overwhelming idiocy. This last book in the trilogy is pretty much the same as the first two: excessive details, wandering plot lines, horrible pacing, paper-thin characters, and fang-less boring vampires. When I finished reading all 561 pages, I thought: what the fuck. How can something thisHell if I know why I enjoyed this.Nothing really happens.Nothing is really resolved.And yet I couldnt put the damn thing down.
What the hell happened?By the end of this book, the only thing you'll realise is that the whole story was completely pointless. All that fannying about from one country to the next and one time to the next was really just a cover for the fact that: a) it is Romeo and Juliet with a happier ending (unsuitable love match due to family conflict) b) it is Twilight (poor vampire husband can't control himself round the mrs) c) it is every 'i'm-a-nobody-but-all-of-a-sudden-i'm-the-chosen-one' story
A Discovery of Witches, Book I in the All Soul's Trilogy was fresh and creative, a great story. It had some flaws but all in all it was a well built world, an addition to the fictional realm of witch folklore for adults.Book II Shadow of Night was historical fiction, a name dropping time travel trip filled to the brim with characters from the Crusader states, the Kingdom of Jerusalem, the House of Austria, along with a British monarch and her noblemen. It reeked of elitism, classism,

While this book was engrossing despite itself, it was a frustrating book, at least for me. I am not sure why I feel the need to discuss this book, since there are so many frustrating books out there, but here goes... It read as if less attention had been given it by the author than the first two in her trilogy. So frustrating when that kind of thing happens. It was like, in some ways, an outline of what it could have been, despite its 560 or so pages. There were so many times when I had to try
This series went from mediocre to bad to terrible over a course of three books.The main problem is the author clearly didnt think anything through. She can write well; her prose is quite flashy in places and some of her characters are quite intriguing. The first book was a great idea and it really set the tone and got the plot moving, the problem was from there the author clearly had no idea what to do. In Shadow of Night Diana found herself transported back in time to the Elizabethan era.
