return to the spellbinding world of A Discovery of Witches

De: Deborah Harkness

Narrado por: Saskia Maarleveld

From the Sunday Times Number One bestselling author of A Discovery of Witches, now a major Sky TV series, a novel about what it takes to become a vampire.

From human to vampire ...

Marcus Whitmore was made a vampire in the eighteenth century. Over two hundred years later, he finds himself in love with Phoebe Taylor, a human who decides to become a vampire herself.

But her transformation will prove as challenging now as it was for Marcus when he first encountered Matthew de Clermont, his sire.

While Phoebe is secreted away, Marcus relives his own journey from the battlefields of the American Revolutionary War, through the treachery of the French Revolution to a bloody finale in New Orleans. His belief in liberty, equality and brotherhood challenged at every stage by the patriarchy of the de Clermonts.

What will he and Phoebe discover in one another when they are finally reunited at Les Revenants, beneath the watchful gaze of Matthew and his wife, Diana Bishop?

Sunday Times Number One bestselling author Deborah Harkness returns to the spellbinding world she created in A Discovery of Witches and, through the prism of an unconventional love story, explores the power of tradition and the endless possibilities for change.

Reseñas de la Crítica

What a rich, thrilling and educational tale it is... A captivating and romantic ripping yarn (E L James)

Intelligent and off-the-wall...irresistible to Twilight fans

Spellbinding... Unputdownable

This is a glorious, finely-wrought gem of a book: intelligent, thoughtful, intricate... I could lose myself in here and never want to come out: what better accolade can there be? ...Utterly enchanting on every level (Manda Scott)

A bubbling cauldron of illicit desire... all the ingredients for an assured saga that blends romance with fantasy

A vast, sexy, historical romp of a novel. There's no doubting Harkness's vivid imagination

An inventive addition to the supernatural craze... has exciting amounts of spells, kisses and battles, and is recounted with enchanting, page-turning panache

An extraordinary achievement... An intelligently written vampire romance set against a thrilling backdrop of magic, secret manuscripts and dangerous desire

Deborah Harkness is a creative genius. She has taken a genre that is saturated with vampires, witches and daemons and has created something unique, with its own rich history and mythology that draws you into her world with captivating storytelling

A creative tour de force

I do wish people would stop comparing this series to Twilight. It is just so much better

Once again Harkness has managed to create a world filled with not only love and romance but action and history, with characters you can love and hate, but always understand an relate to. This is an unforgettable book, with brilliant characters

I wish there more books

Loved the stories, just wish there were books telling the tales of other characters.
I will miss Matthew & Diana the children, Marcus & Phoebe, Chris & Miriam , Isabo & Phillip and all the others.

I expected a bit more

While I absolutely love the characters in the all souls trilogy, the storyline in this book seemed a bit haphazard and without any real directions. It felt a bit like a few sub-plots from the previous books were being explained but without any real plot of its own.

I like the series

I’ve listened to the first three books many times and for me it was really hard to listen to someone else narrating this one. She did a good job, and at the same time all the characters sounded different and were not themselves. I forced myself through it at 1.2 and 1.5 speed because it is part of the series.

Disappointing

I really love the Discovery of witches Trilogy and so looked forward to this but can't believe how disappointing it is. I did not like the narration at all, why was there a different narrator. The names were pronounce differently and the style of narration just didn't suit at all, so much so that I am not sure if it was the narrator or the story that was just plain boring. It's almost like a different author produced this book. So disappointing.

Awesome series

I really enjoyed this book. Recommend that people listen to it. Couldn't stop listening to it

Bring back original narrator.. lackluster story

Bring back the original narrator from the All Souls books.

Lackluster and no plot, basic love story with no soul. This book didn't even seem to be written by the same author as the others.

Disappointing storyline

Love this addition to the All Souls Trilogy

Loved the story. Great addition to the All Souls Series. Not really sure why Matthew had an Australian accent though - found that quite irritating.

Amazing

Well, I'm suspected to speak because I love this author, so listening another book that offers a continuity for the series All Souls is an early Christmas gift.
The book is really very good, It's very well written, the narrative is excellent. The author brought back Mathew and Diana, but places Marcus and Phoebe in the center. . Without losing focus, we know Marcus's past in a subtle way while we are introduced to Mathew and Diana's dilemmas in raising children.
It's a great book that ends very quickly.

Very nice narration

The narrator does a wonderful job! Nice follow-up to the story. Hope for more!

not what I expected

it was hard to listen to
missed the previous reader
after 3 books read by jenifer ikeda,and getting used to the voice changes for each character in a certain way,it was hard to listen to the book and getting used to the voices of the whole de clairmont 's and all their servants
the fans deserved better
