Black Bird Oracle
Black Bird Oracle | Deborah Harkness
9 posts | 7 read | 1 reading | 1 to read
Diana Bishop journeys to the darkest places within herself--and her family history--in the highly anticipated fifth novel of the beloved #1 New York Times bestselling All Souls series. "The Black Bird Oracle deftly explores the nexus of memory, history, and parenthood--the magic, pain, and promises mothers pass onto their children."--Jodi Picoult The stunning hardcover of The Black Bird Oracle features a custom-stamped case, beautiful endpapers, and a premium dust jacket! Deborah Harkness first introduced the world to Diana Bishop, an Oxford scholar and witch, and vampire geneticist Matthew de Clermont in A Discovery of Witches. Drawn to each other despite long-standing taboos, these two otherworldly beings found themselves at the center of a battle for a lost, enchanted manuscript known as Ashmole 782. Since then, they have fallen in love, traveled to Elizabethan England, dissolved the Covenant between the three species, and awoken the dark powers within Diana's family line. Now, Diana and Matthew receive a formal demand from the Congregation: They must test the magic of their seven-year-old twins, Pip and Rebecca. Concerned with their safety and desperate to avoid the same fate that led her parents to spellbind her, Diana decides to forge a different path for her family's future and answers a message from a great-aunt she never knew existed, Gwyneth Proctor, whose invitation simply reads: It's time you came home, Diana. On the hallowed ground of Ravenswood, the Proctor family home, and under the tutelage of Gwyneth, a talented witch grounded in higher magic, a new era begins for Diana: a confrontation with her family's dark past and a reckoning for her own desire for even greater power--if she can let go, finally, of her fear of wielding it. In this stunning new novel, grand in scope, Deborah Harkness deepens the beloved world of All Souls with powerful new magic and long-hidden secrets, and the path Diana finds at Ravenswood leads to the most consequential moments yet in this cherished series.

Rainy Friday mood. Chocolate chai in the cup. I have at least an hour before someone is going to bother me. I‘m going to get lost in this.

How did I miss this?! I had no idea there was another book. I guess that‘s what I get for not visiting Litsy enough. Hubby saw it and surprised me with it today. He added a candle and some chocolate. And it‘s going to rain tomorrow. I might just have to drop everything else.

LeeRHarry I enjoyed this one - hope you do too 😊 1mo

I enjoyed this book, not as much as the others. I did like the new characters and direction that Diana character went , very descriptive and lots of hot tea!
This definitely sets up for more in the series

Oh, I have missed these characters! So glad that Ms Harkness‘ health has improved. Particularly happy that the ending of this wonderful novel hints at another book to come in this great series. Diana has returned to her Procter family home, Ravenswood which awakens her higher magic and now the Congregation wants to test her twins, Pip and Becca. Vampires and Witches unite in her support against her enemies. Haven‘t watched the TV series. Should I?

Texreader I loved the series! So good to hear how good this book is!! 2mo

I love that Jennifer Ikeda is back narrating the series, I missed her! The book is a great addition to the series but it is disappointing that it ends in a bit of a cliffhanger. Also It is less exciting than the previous books in the All Hallows trilogy because once you add kids and summer camp registration the book becomes my own life, and that‘s just not exciting, especially in a fantasy novel. Still I look forward to the next book

If I were in Bath in September I could have Deborah Harkness sign all the books of hers I own.

WOW!!!! Excellent return to this series! The story picks up when twins Becca and Pip are 6 and the Congregation wants to test their abilities as they turn 7. We learn lots more about Diana‘s family history and get to see Matthew learn to ‘belong‘ in his wife‘s world for once. It also feels as if there could be another book at the end. 🤞🏻If you are a fan of the books (or show) you will probably want to give this a go!

TrishB I have it ready 👍🏻 3mo
