Despite having a combined 1,682 pages (at least in the collected eBook version), this series doesn’t really have a lot going on. The first thing we should really discuss here is the plot.
Rather than capitalizing on these elements and making them unique, Harkness delves into the tropes these books create in a way that stifles her attempts at original fiction. Simply combining elements of other popular fantasy series does not make a book good.
You might be thinking – “hey, I liked those series! So I’ll probably like this, right?” Primarily, the books are a complete and utter ripoff of the Twilight series, the Outlander series, and even a bit of Dan Brown with the psuedo-science elements. The first thing you need to understand about these three books is that there is very little original content here. Sit back, relax, and prepare to obey your husband as you join me in this world of patriarchal hullabaloo. Thus, here is my full All Souls trilogy book review. Nevertheless, I decided to persevere and read the other two books in the series (because despite of this series’ many flaws, it did have a central mystery that I wanted to solve). This is something I quickly realized as I dug into the book. As with most library book sales, there is a reason the book is being sold – and usually, it’s because no one wants to read it anymore. Little did I know the journey this book would take me on.Īfter seeing a copy of “A Discovery of Witches” at a library book sale for $0.50, I decided to splurge and purchase a copy.
It seemed kind of intriguing, and after a little looking into it, I saw it was based off a book. I first came to know about the All Souls trilogy when I saw a preview for a new show, A Discovery of Witches.
