forgottenmuse's review against another edition

I picked up the Kindle Edition when it was on sale for $1.99.
I do not regret that decision! I have had the physical copies of books 1 and 2 for awhile, but
I didn't want to read them until I had all 3 books.
They are well written books and a great story.
I loved all the characters, even the ones I hated because of what they did.
I wish there were more books in the series.

A different pace from the usual urban fantasy. Liked it a lot!

So good. On my 4th read through. Smart, well researched magical realism.
I'd love books on Phillipe, and Gallowglass.

This book was just incredibly boring. I almost made it to the end of a Discovery of Witches but I just couldn't go on. So little was happening, I was not invested in the characters at all, the insta-love between the two leads was unconvincing & they had no chemistry. Just a total slog to try to get through.

There were bits and pieces that reminded me of other book series that I’ve read in the past, but the little things that were changed to make it into a historical fiction paranormal, made all the difference!! I absolutely loved the trilogy and look forward to continuing on with A Time’s Convert! I hope there’s many more books to come, even if it’s called a trilogy!!

I appreciated the intricate world-building, which combines history, science, and fantasy elements to create a unique and immersive universe.
However, the books were dense and the plot was incredibly slow, with lengthy descriptions and a focus on historical detail that detracted from its momentum.
Additionally, whilst Diana's character is interesting, I didn't feel it met her potential. I felt that her relationship with Matthew progresses too quickly and his overly protective and controlling characteristics, diminished Diana's agency and independence.
