About this listen
The number one New York Times best-selling sequel to A Discovery of Witches, book two of the All Souls Series. Look for the hit TV series A Discovery of Witches, streaming on AMC Plus, Sundance Now, and Shudder. Season Two premieres January 9, 2021!
Picking up from A Discovery of Witches' cliff-hanger ending, Shadow of Night takes reluctant witch Diana Bishop and vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont on a trip through time to Elizabethan London, where they are plunged into a world of spies, magic, and a coterie of Matthew's old friends, the School of Night. As the search for Ashmole 782—the lost and enchanted manuscript whose mystery first pulled Diana and Matthew into one another's orbit—deepens and Diana seeks out a witch to tutor her in magic, the net of Matthew's past tightens around them. Together they find they must embark on a very different—and vastly more dangerous—journey.

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them. With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success.

Story
It once seemed so easy to Prince Rhen, the heir to Emberfall. Cursed by a powerful enchantress to repeat the autumn of his 18th year over and over, he knew he could be saved if a girl fell for him. But that was before he learned that at the end of each autumn, he would turn into a vicious beast hell-bent on destruction. That was before he destroyed his castle, his family, and every last shred of hope.

Story
Demonstrating once again her gift for spellbinding storytelling, Anne Rice makes real for us a great dynasty of four centuries of witches - a family given to poetry and incest, murder and philosophy, a family that over the ages is itself haunted by a powerful, dangerous, and seductive being called Lasher who haunts the Mayfair women. Moving in time from today's New Orleans and San Francisco to long-ago Amsterdam and the France of Louis XIV, from the coffee plantations of Port-au-Prince to Civil War New Orleans and back to today, Anne Rice has spun a mesmerizing tale.

Money or love? Which would you choose? You probably just answered the question in your head, thinking it's an easy decision. For me, it's not. Did I mention it's a lot of money? A hell of a lot. I needed to go far away to think it through. As I embarked on an impulsive trip, I hit a detour when I met sexy Carter in the airport lounge. We struck up a heated conversation. Then, he left. I thought I'd never see him again. But fate had other plans. Surprise! He was the pilot of my flight.

When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder - much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing - not even a smear of blood - to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?

Any additional comments?
Now that I know the authors background I understand the history and the wordiness behind her writing. The love story of Matthew and Diana is beautiful and I love Matthew's quiet strength and his history. Can't wait for the third book and to see how thier love manages to last his immortality.I need a happy ending!
Great story-love Matthew

Would you listen to Shadow of Night again? Why?
Absolutely!!!! The love story and I kept wondering what will their next discovery be? Who will they meet? How are they all connected? So many questions, that I spent a few days without sleeping.What about Jennifer Ikeda’s performance did you like?
Fantastic!Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
YES!!!!!I didn't think twice to purchase!
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Would you consider the audio edition of Shadow of Night to be better than the print version?
Yes, primarily because I would sit and read it while neglecting everything else, so at least this way I could listen to my iPod while doing housework, driving, etc.What other book might you compare Shadow of Night to and why?
I read something a year or so ago that said this series is "Twilight for Smart People". Yep, that pretty much nails it. At times the similarities between the books are startling.What about Jennifer Ikeda’s performance did you like?
She was creative in her voices and didn't try to make men sound like sandpaper. Men are people too (usually) and I dislike when female narrators try to lower their voices past the point of believability. Same for the I Wanna Be A Girl falsetto that many male narrators use. Jennifer Ikeda, like most good narrators, uses inflection and delivery to define her characters and doesn't try to move out of her vocal range. Mostly, she uses pitch appropriately and the characters are more believeable as a result. I love the accents, well done!Who was the most memorable character of Shadow of Night and why?
Matthew is the most memorable character, but I think Diana made some good improvements in this book. In the last book she was too helpless and it made me want to shake her. There were a couple of times in this book when I started thinking, "Come on, you're a witch, figure it out..." but Diana finally learned to be a "creature" in her own right and I respect her more for it. Matthew rode to her rescue a few times but for the most part she grew capable and strong and was able to handle things herself.Any additional comments?
I would have lost patience with Kit after the first few chapters. I know that in life we are supposed to take the high road, but if I were Diana I would have served him to Matthew as an appetizer.Things are moving now!

About the sameWhat did you like best about this story?
It's not predictable.Which scene was your favorite?
Not sure. I particularly liked when Diana performed magic.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Probably, but it was a LONG book.Any additional comments?
Parts of the love story seemed a bit contrived but overall I liked the character development and it's unpredictability.I liked it better than The Discovery of Witches.
Now I'm Hooked!

I have really enjoyed this series and as you can tell I am eagerly awaiting the next book.
Deborah has done a wonderful job of presenting a popular topic in a different way and Jennifer has done a splendid job narrating it.
I really appreciate that the narrator has not changed between books as that can often be disconcerting.
I am very impressed with the amount historical homework that has obviously taken place and the suppositions that have been made.
Hurry up with the next book !... please
