Delightfully well-crafted and enchantingly imaginative. It has some of the same ineluctable atmosphere that made Anne Rice's vampire books such a popular success. A debut novel with a big supernatural canvas. Its ambitions are world-sized, ranging across history and zeroing in on DNA, human and otherwordly. Age-old tensions between science and magic and between evolution and alchemy erupt as Diana seeks to unlock the secrets of Ashmole 782.
Harkness, an eloquent writer, conjures this world of witches with Ivy League degrees and supernatural creatures completely-and believably-while maintaining a sense of wonder. A Discovery of Witches is that rare historical novel that manages to be as intelligent as it is romantic. And it is supernatural fiction that those of us who usually prefer to stay grounded in reality can get caught up in. Pardon the pun, but Witches is truly spellbinding.Readers who thrilled to Elizabeth Kostova's 2005 blockbuster, The Historian, will note the parallels, but A Discovery of Witches is a modern Romeo and Juliet story, with older, wiser lovers. Blood will flow when a witch and a vampire fall for each other. Author Deborah Harkness, a UCLA history professor, brings vast knowledge and research to the page. Harkness works her own form of literary alchemy by deftly blending fantasy, romance, history, and horror into one completely bewitching book.
A Discovery of Witches becomes increasingly charming as it goes along. A shrewdly written romp and a satisfying snow-day read for those of us who heartily enjoyed the likes of Anne Rice and Marion Zimmer Bradley.
By the book's rousing end. I was impatient for the sequel. 5.70(w) x 8.60(h) x 3.90(d).
