A Discovery of Witches

It is out in July, i really enjoyed and can't wait to see what happens next!

I thought this book was amazing, I actually couldn't believe it was just a random find, I had never heard of it. Can't wait for the next installment, I think its in July, though I could be wrong!!

This book is one of my favorites, so much so that I could not bear to put it down while reading. Deborah Harkness's writing is fantastic. Cannot wait until I can get a hold of the next installment to 'a discovery of witches'.

After the first couple of chapters I liked this book alot very easy read as it kept me engaged and I didn't want to put it down... just have to wait now for the second installment.

I loved this book.... Couldn't put it down.... I highly recommend it.

Does anyone have this on ebook for the kindle app they would be willing to loan?

I absolutely loved this book. It took a couple chapters to get into (1or2), but she does it with SO much detail that you feel like your actually there. I belive the second book comes out early 2012 or in november of that year. I get book dates mixed up. Counting the days!

I really loved this book. Yes, it took a while to get into, but once in, I couldn't put it down. Love the amount of detail Deborah goes into, the landscape, the library, the chateau... I could really imagine I was there with Diana. Can't wait for the next book.

Few novels have me wanting to see a feature film made from them but this, in light of all the vampire lust out there, absolutely must be made into a movie! Her writing style is unbelievable. A bit daunted by the size in the beginning, now I wish it never ended. I will read this novel again, something I've never done and can now understand why some do. Ms. Harkness thank you for a wonderful holiday!

This creative first book of a trilogy is filled with magic, romance and plenty of historical realism. It’s about a witch, a vampire and a sorcerer’s manuscript which links their destiny. The story starts when Dr Diana Bishop, an academic historian, accidently reads a bewitched manuscript of alchemy while studying in the centuries-old Oxford library. Since she comes from a long line of witches, Diana knows exactly what it is, takes a quick peek than replaces the volume. Unfortunately this sets off a chain reaction in the underworld of witches, vampires and ghouls because this book is a highly prized volume which has been lost for centuries. And Diana is the key to unlocking its spell. She is an intelligent young woman and teams up with geneticist Professor Matthew Clairmont, a vampire who can feel the evil gathering at Oxford, although initially their personalities clash. Steadily their bond deepens and Diana finds herself drawn to him. Even if their relationship defies forbidden laws. Ultimately her supernatural adventures lead her to a greater understanding of the world of creatures, her family and herself. A good fact-mixed-with-fantasy read despite its length of 579 pages!
