and if this book is anything like the first, we are in for a serious treat.
Looks like our hopes are confirmed - check out these reviews:
“Enchanting, engrossing, and as impossible to put down as its predecessor, Shadow of Night is a perfect blend of fantasy, history and romance. Its single greatest flaw is, after almost 600 pages, it’s over. If you’ve already read and enjoyed A Discovery of Witches, picking up Shadow of Night is an absolute requirement. Otherwise, pick up both, and consider your summer reading list complete.” – The Miami Herald
"We literally fell head over stilettos in love with volume one in the Trilogy Of Souls series – it even kick-started the GLAMOUR.com book club because of our enthusiasm! If you loved Twilight but need to sink your teeth into a much more meaty, intelligent and feisty story – with an addictive love thread to boot – then read A Discovery Of Witches quick to whet your appetite for book two.” – Glamour Magazine UK)So there you go. Reading this book is "an absolute requirement."
Knowing this book was the second in a trilogy, I knew it wouldn't have an actual ending - but even so, I really enjoyed reading it and can't wait for the third book. "Shadow of Night" had so much more action than the first with more travel, not only to different countries but through time. Complete romantic, magical thrill ride! Now after almost 600 pages of reading, I'm already missing the All Souls characters. How long is the wait?
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this book. The characters were more in depth from the first of the trilogy. I was struck, twice, when reading. I thought that Louisa was long since dead. And how did her father know to get to the time they were at? Am I wrong to think that when witches die, that is it? And what happened to Em? Just saying she was killed? We do need a sequel. Unanswered questions.
ReplyDeleteYou asked all of the questions I'm ready to have answered, too. The author left those WIDE OPEN for the next book to answer. Let's hope she does?
