The Book of Life (All Souls Trilogy, #3)
by
by
The third book of the trilogy, with a lot of threads to weave together, creatures to sort out, and battles to fight. Deborah Harkness does it all, and then some, with gasp-worthy moments on and off the battlefields that her vampires, witches, and daemons have to populate, and moments of sheer beauty. I am, simultaneously, well-satisfied, and sorry that the trilogy isn't (at least) a quartet.
Wonderful, wondrous, magical, and excellent.
I received an ARC from NetGalley. This is an honest review.
Note, 2018 - not only did I not enjoy this book as much the 2nd time around -- I did not remember most of it. Strange.

"I re-read the first two books and then plunged into the ARC -- I feel as if I'm living in another world! So far, I am not disappointed, and I see why this book took 2 years to be released. So much! So much!"

i want to ask you, i just bought this book randomly and i didnt know about the previous books, so its okay if i start read the book of life without any background about the first 2 books?
