I didn’t quite make the comparison when I read A Discovery of Witches, the first book in the All Souls Trilogy, but after finishing the set it’s obvious: these are books that are pitched toward fans of Outlander (or books like Outlander that fill in the spaces between major plot twists with lots and lots and lots of small expository details.) It’s probably not a coincidence that Deborah Harkness and Diana Gabaldon both have doctorates and both brought a very academic sensibility to their fiction […]
I’m basically Reviewer 2 here with this so bear with me
Shadow of Night (All Souls #2) by Deborah Harkness
The Book of Life (All Souls #3) by Deborah Harness
