Reviews

“A great spell, the one that can enchant a reader and make a 600-page book fly through her fingertips, is cast.” —Entertainment Weekly“Fans of Harkness’s 2011 debut A Discovery of Witches will be delighted. . . . She delivers enough romance and excitement to keep the pages turning. Readers will devour it.” —People“Deborah Harkness takes us places we’ve never been before. . . . Shadow ends as Discovery did with promises of more to come. Lucky for us.” —USA Today “Rich, period fun, particularly delightful in its witty characterizations of historical immortals . . . Shadow ramps up the supernatural suspense.” —New York Daily News“Harkness exudes her own style of magic in making the world of late 16th century England come alive. . . . If you’ve already read and enjoyed A Discovery of Witches, picking up Shadow of Night is an absolute requirement. Otherwise, pick up both, and consider your summer reading list complete.” —Miami Herald
