A review by avadore
Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness

adventurous hopeful mysterious fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
Listen - I take the criticisms of this book very seriously. It is a bit ridiculous. But I am lapping it up! I love this historical fantasy garbage fire! I also found it weirdly touching
that Dianna's miscarriage was shown with care but also unflinchingly.
Would I really recommend this series to everyone? No, but if you want a trilogy to dig into that really goes some wild places then sure. Give it a go.
