Deborah Harkness
Book one of the New York Times best-selling All Souls Series—"a wonderfully imaginative grown-up fantasy with all the magic of Harry Potter and Twilight” (People).
Now “[a] hot show that’s like Twilight meets Outlander” (Thrillist) airing on AMC and BBC America, as well as streaming on Sundance Now and Shudder.
Deborah Harkness’s sparkling debut, A Discovery of Witches, has brought her into the spotlight and galvanized fans around the world. In this tale of passion and obsession, Diana Bishop, a young scholar and a descendant of witches, discovers a long-lost and enchanted alchemical manuscript, Ashmole 782, deep in Oxford's Bodleian Library. Its reappearance summons a fantastical underworld, which she navigates with her leading man, vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont.
Harkness has created a universe to rival those of Anne Rice, Diana Gabaldon, and Elizabeth Kostova, and she adds a scholar's depth to this riveting tale of magic and suspense. The story continues in book two, Shadow of Night, book three, The Book of Life, and the fourth in the series, Time’s Convert.

Reseñas de la Crítica
“A wonderfully imaginative grown-up fantasy with all the magic of Harry Potter or Twilight.... An irresistible tale of wizardry, science and forbidden love.” (People)
“Romantic, erudite, and suspenseful.... Harkness attends to every scholarly and emotional detail with whimsy, sensuality, and humor.” (O, The Oprah Magazine)

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time
The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

I wrote to the author on her Facebook page and she wrote me back almost immediately! Good news for anyone else who enjoyed this book!
Me: Just finished your book which I purchased from audible.com
I was hooked right away and thought the narrator was wonderful in further bringing the characters to life. I'm so glad to read there's going to be a second book! I was wondering if you were thinking of writing a series? I hope so!!! This is what i have been looking for since Twilight and Harry Potter. I especially love what the true historical parts bring to the story. It helps make the story come to life! Thank you! :)

Deborah Harkness: There will be two more books--and I agree that Jennifer Ikeda is fantastic. I've been listening to it as I travel and it's brought the whole book back to life for me, too.
The only thing I wish was different about this book is that, at times, I wish the story would slow down and go into more depth, especially about some of the historical aspects of this book. Perhaps an illustrated version would be available someday? :)

What made the experience of listening to A Discovery of Witches the most enjoyable?
This book was awesome, aside from being one of my favorite subjects, witches and vampires, the narrator was excellent, the vampire was sexy and brooding, with a sometimes French and sometimes British accent and the story was exciting with plenty of surprises and bad guys.What was one of the most memorable moments of A Discovery of Witches?
I loved all of the book. I liked when Matthew and Diana were in France at his family estate probably the best, but all of it was goodWhat does Jennifer Ikeda bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
. She did such a fabulous job with the male characters, which I find to be challenging for female narrators sometimes, but she made each one unique and in depth.Any additional comments?
Excellent book, and I was really sad when I realized that there was a whole lot more that needed to happen before there was an "end" and I looked at the library to find out this is only the first book in a series...and the next book will not be available until July >.< I hate waiting...LOVED THIS BOOK

If you could sum up A Discovery of Witches in three words, what would they be?
Captivating. Commanding. ArdentWhat other book might you compare A Discovery of Witches to and why?
A Game of Thrones, both books have characters that are so well developed that they become part of your family. You are given the chance to understand them slowly but throughly. You are happy when they are happy, sad when they are sad, and cry when they cry. Also, at the end of one book you are just so happy that there is another one because you don't want the story to end.What does Jennifer Ikeda bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
She ia such a gifted narrator. She has the ability to keep each character separate and give each of them their own personalities. She reads with such feeling that you feel what you think they must be experiencing. She is able to draw the reader in and you are happy to be listening. Ms. Ikeda's voice is mesmerizing.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Any of the moments that gave me more insight into the relationship between Matthew's mom, Ysabeau and Diana.Any additional comments?
If there are ever any movies or a series made using these books there must be special attention to detail. I hope they do it with honor and respect. I have listened to this series numerous times and hear something new each time. Deborah Harkness should be commended on her excellent and through research. It is a great treat to listen to such a well written book. Thank you Ms. Harkness.Jackpot

This debut novel by novelist Deborah Harkness had me total fascinated and could not put it down. The book (some 24 hours) was narrated by Jennifer Ikeda did an awesome job ..her voice for me was perfect for Diana.
My only regret with this book .. I have to wait until next summer for Shadow of Night (All Souls Trilogy #2)
Demons and Witches and Vampires, Oh My
