Author's need for complete disclosure!

Author's footnotes on what drew her to this trilogy and the piciune nature of the work she does in her "day" job! I enjoyed her story of how she picked her chacters, how the story took on a life of its own and her struggles to contain it. I wrote a partial book and couldn't believe how it would take off on its own. It also had to be really satisfying to use all her past knowledge in different type of writing. I appreciate how the author shows how she made the stories and for a would be future author that is sweet! Her work has become a great favorite read and I am currently starting my second read of her current book. Thank you, Ms Harkness, for your books. And thanks again for a glimpse inside your writer's mind on how you do it.

Informative

I loved it. I got to know the main characters on another level. I highly recommend this book.

All Souls

I’m so impressed by the depth and care given to this information. It had truly possessed me; I’ve gone down so many rabbit holes, chasing some tidbit of a subject. I want to live here!

Loved it

The extra info provided to the All Souls world is great! Had everything the description said it would and raised my excitement for future novels.

Its ok but not necessary

I am not displeased with this publication. I actually really enjoyed it, but I think it should be known that this IS a companion novel and does not extend the story. It is more or less background info on the characters.

Exactly like Bonus Extras on movie's,except better

More in depth information on all the characters, where they come from, where they live and history. Also gives you a real feel of all the places, both then and now and how true to form Deborah Harkness brings into the open.

The World of All Souls

Loved this series!!! Wish it hadn't ended...more could be written about Jack, for some reason i love that character!!

Wonderful book

Great book. I read the other four books and I loved them as well. I highly recommend this book

It was like getting a Directors Cut version of the trilogy…

For die hard fans of the All Souls Trilogy; what a treat to rummage through the incredible mind of my favorite author. The World has given me even more to love about ADOW and my favorite fictional characters, Diana Bishop and Matthew Claremont. I absolutely adore the writer’s methodology of using the lifespan of a vampire to explain actual historical figures that remain shadowed in mystery.

disappointed

great narrator as alwas. No real story, was disappointed with it. A lot of time spent on giving detailed information about the characters boring info at least to me. Was expecting another great story like the other books, a continuance/following of time where I was taken into the story and saw the twins grown etc. very disappointed.
