Deep in the stacks of Oxford’s Bodleian Library, young scholar Diana Bishop unwittingly calls up a bewitched alchemical manuscript in the course of her research. Descended from an old and distinguished line of witches, Diana wants nothing to do with sorcery; so after a furtive glance and a few notes, she banishes the book to the stacks. But her discovery sets a fantastical underworld stirring, and a horde daemons, witches, and vampires soon descends upon the library. Diana has stumbled upon a coveted treasure lost for centuries-and she is the only creature who can break its spell.
I absolutely loved this. I loved the characters. Matthew is a great character. He is strong with a softer side. He’s so protective. Diana is also likeable. I really like the relationship between them. It’s got plot twists and keeps you guessing. There’s a little spice. Deborah Harkness’s writing style is easy to keep up with and I couldn’t put it down. The world is beautifully built, you can really imagine the settings. I read the majority of this in one day and cannot wait to pick up the next in this series.
