A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness
2.0
I wanted to like this book. Interesting premise, promising characters, decent mystery. But it dragged on so slowly, I just kept hoping it would end. The insta-love was off-putting as was the trope of protective/ annoyingly bossy and domineering vampire. The bad guys were very flat too. So bad. Much mean.
The supporting cast was great though, despite some random sudden personality changes (For example, Ysabeau hates witches. She wants to kill them all. Until she loves Diana.) Sophie was a sweet addition, and Marcus, Miriam, and the aunts were great as well. Not sure if they were great enough to take on book two though.....maybe if I have nothing else to read.
