The Book of Life | Deborah Harkness

Pickpick

The final book in the series, we finally get to see all of the secrets brought to light, and a resolution to the situation with the council.

I will admit, I still had issues with the pacing at times, and I got frustrated with our main characters quite often, but overall I still mostly enjoyed this series.

I liked this more second time around (first read about 20 years ago) but definitely the weakest of the vampire chronicles so far. Theological musings really not my thing, looking forward to getting back to proper vampire adventures in the next instalment 🤞

Here is my list for #castthedie @PuddleJumper My lucky book will be the tagged. I‘ll be honest I might read all of these, but the first one(s) I read will be the die rolls. 🥰

PuddleJumper They all look great, happy reading! I've been looking at Dragonfall so interested to see if you enjoy it 3d

Continued reading through this series.

Not much though about them as they don‘t have much going on but they keep my attention in the moment and they don‘t take long to get through.

While I feel like this one didn't quite live up to the first book in the series, I still enjoyed it.

The pace is significantly slower in this book, and it definitely took me longer to read, but it also brought in more history and detail, creating something really beautiful.

Overall, this was absolutely still a pick that left me more than ready to pick up the third and final book.

I got 33/45 😆
There are way too many good ones on this list to narrow it down to 3 picks. Dracula, The Craft, The Goonies, Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, Edward Scissorhands, Harry Potter, Hocus Pocus, the list goes on and on.....
This was so fun though and makes me want to rewatxh all of them 🍂🎃

I love fantasy. But I have a very strong distaste for smarmy, poorly written romance. Yet here I am, all sucked into a romantsy series. Because vampire hunger games! I mean I was 70% in before I had to encounter “the rigid length of his desire”. So I have hardly rolled my eyes at all. Great character development makes all the difference.

Pickpick

This one was very hard to pin down for me. I'm calling it a soft pick, but just barely.

The character concepts and the premise were unique enough to hold my attention and keep me reading, but the narrative did fall prey to over-explanation in many places, and yet it also had several elements that were a bit confusing and under explained.

I'm still undecided about whether or not I will pick up the next book.
