Reviews

"A wonderfully imaginative grown-up fantasy with all the magic of Harry Potter or Twilight . . . . An irresistible tale of wizardry, science and forbidden love." -- People "Romantic, erudite, and suspenseful . . . Harkness attends to every scholarly and emotional detail with whimsy, sensuality, and humor." -- O, The Oprah Magazine " A thoroughly grown-up novel packed with gorgeous historical detail and a gutsy, brainy heroine to match. . . . Harkness writes with thrilling gusto about the magical world." -- Entertainment Weekly "Harkness conjures up a scintillating paranormal story. . . . Discover why everyone's talking about this magical book." -- USA Today "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." -- Miami Herald "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." -- Los Angeles Times "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." -- San Antonio News-Express "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." -- Cleveland Plain Dealer "Harkness works her own form of literary alchemy by deftly blending fantasy, romance, history, and horror into one completely bewitching book." -- Chicago Tribune "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." --NPR, "A wonderfully imaginative grown-up fantasy with all the magic of Harry Potter or Twilight . . . .

Absolutely fascinating 1st novel! A trilogy, I look forward to the sequels.
I very much like the woman protagonist to be a very strong character -- in and of herself. She knows the "world" contains three supernatural type of creatures Witches (she is one), Vampires, and Demons. She also knows the majority of the world is none of these. They are Humans. All supernatural folk know to keep themselves hidden from Humans. After all, isn't that how Diana Bishop's ancestor died -- at the Salem Witch Trials? Diana chooses the hard road. She denies her Witch heritage. She becomes an historian. And then -- and then -- there is the day when she requests from her library, a book known only as Ashmole 782. That is when her isolated life begins to unravel. Warning: a couple passages are PG-13 rated. I also very much like how history is interwoven inside ... I very much like the woman protagonist to be a very strong character -- in and of herself.

All supernatural folk know to keep themselves hidden from Humans. After all, isn't that how Diana Bishop's ancestor died -- at the Salem Witch Trials? Diana chooses the hard road. She denies her Witch heritage. She becomes an historian. And then -- and then -- there is the day when she requests from her library, a book known only as Ashmole 782. That is when her isolated life begins to unravel. Warning: a couple passages are PG-13 rated. I also very much like how history is interwoven inside this novel. The author, Deborah Harkness, is a professor of history, but not like any professor I ever had in college! One of the characters is a Vampire, who has lived more than 1,000 years. The way Ms. Harkness weaves his history into and within the story, is marvelous. You will find yourself checking the Encyclopedia for some of the terms she uses, and those will be very interesting by themselves. Just me personally, I worked at a large university library. So I should explain what "Ashmole 782" means. "Ashmole" is the name of a person who collected books. He bought books before a time when there was any national library, such as the Library of Congress. The Library of Congress was one of the first libraries to organize books by category number for every book they owned (they created the Dewey Decimal system). Cutter was another. Now in the story, somehow, Ashmole's collection of books is donated to the Bodleian Library in England. So the library gets boxes and boxes of completely unknown books. What an undergraduate (like me) will do, we take one book out of one box, and we name it (collector) 001. Next book is (collector) 002. Other undergraduates will research title page, author, etc., and will standardize those books as per the library. But there will always be some books that have never been categorized or standardized. And they become: "Ashmole 782". I have always wondered, did I categorize "Secrets of the Darkest Art" wrongly; using Cutter's system? E45 (Historical Sciences) (England) / B4 (Author: Bullock, Owle) (4th book published by this author) --- E45/B4 --- Or should I have left it "Dumbledore 064"? (Just kidding.) (I think.) The author's characters are very well written. The background setting and history are very well explained. The science of genetics, which explains witches, demons & vampires is perfect. There is such an amazing variety of personalities. Some of the "good guys" are dark. Some of the "bad guys" are simply driven by what they believe to be right. Although mostly the reader might think they know the "good guys" and the "bad guys"; Well . . . a couple of the "good guys" are Vampires. How much can you trust them? And there are wild cards to consider. Not all Witches are on the same side. And Demons? Nobody knows the troubles they see. But really, you should experience this book to decide for yourself.

Excellent story--plus you get vampires
Somehow I never heard of A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness until a friend recommended it to me recently. I don’t read a lot of fantasy or paranormal literature as a rule. I enjoyed it a lot because it has all the ingredients I look for: interesting, well-developed characters, a bit of humor, mystery, a twisty plot, and great settings (I would so like to visit the Bodleian Library). It also has something I’ve never previously encountered in a novel: characters speaking Old French or Occitan. Perfect for those who enjoy vampires and the paranormal (and even for those of us who don't read many vampire stories).Somehow I never heard of A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness until a friend recommended it to me recently.

Utterly fascinating
I had made an abortive attempt to watch the TV adaptation of this trilogy without first reading the books, but someone loaned me the first - Discover of Witches - and I was hooked by the end of the first twenty pages. The novel is rich with detail - of history, metaphysics, and places - and the characters manage to be both exotic and believable: no small feat when writing about witches, vampires, and demons. As an historian, I am attracted to stories that bring the past to life, but only if the depiction is authentic and then only if it is also entertaining. Harkness does not disappoint.

Historical fiction with a fantasy twist!
A wonderfully written historical fiction with a fantasy twist! A Discovery of Witches will keep your attention. Tying in with real historical facts, the story is both compelling g and completely believable. I highly recommend this series. As usual, the books are far better than the movie!
