Decision made. It looks like something that can be read in one sitting.

8little_paws It can, and it's best read in one sitting as well 8y

The trouble is I just got this off the shelf and was excited to read it. Now I'm torn. Argh!

Shadow of Night: A Novel | Deborah Harkness

I'm on about page 243, does she ever move on from what Diana is wearing? Elizabethan clothes are different, we get it!

bookblog76 Okay. Nearly finished. It got much better after that last comment. Clearly Harkness needs about 250 pages to establish herself. It was roughly the same with the first book. 8y

This is my second go at reading this. The first time I abandoned it because I couldn't get past the bad writing. This time though, I must be in a different mood, or more forgiving at least, cause not only did I finish it, but I went out and bought book 2 as soon as I was done. There is something to be said for reading things at the right time.

ReadingOver50 Me too. I set it aside the first time. I just picked it back up to give it another go 😄 8y
