DESCRIPTION:
A Disappointing Final Book - No Spoilers in the main review. (Please note I'm trying to write this review without any specific spoilers, so I apologize for a lack of specific examples in some of my comments)I was really eager for this 3rd book. The pacing in the second book had improved on the first, the dialogue had gotten better, and the flow was less choppy overall. I thought things could only get better in book three. Unfortunately all the style progress achieved in "Shadow of Night" felt lost in the "The Book Of Life". I almost put it down after 3 chapters . R.

This is a unique story with a creative and organized plot, well-developed characters, suspense, romance, history I love stories with supernatural elements set in the real, "normal" world. This book, the entire trilogy, does not disappoint. I do agree with other readers who say this book is not as "good" as the first two. It is a bit slower in places, a bit convoluted and some details "fizzled out" a bit (the scion business, what happens with the Book of Life), but overall I still enjoyed it. The trilo
Eagerly awaited by Harkness's legion of fans, The Book of Life brings this superbly written series to a deeply satisfying close.. But the real threat to their future has yet to be revealed, and when it is, the search for Ashmole 782 and its missing pages takes on even more urgency. In the trilogy's final volume, Harkness deepens her themes of power and passion, family and caring, past deeds and their present consequences. In ancestral homes and university laboratories, using ancient knowledge and modern science, from the hills of the Auvergne to the palaces of Venice and beyond, the couple at last learn what the witches discovered so many centuries ago. The highly anticipated finale to the number-one New York Times best-selling trilogy that began with A Discovery of Witches. At Matthew's ancestral home at Sept-Tours, they reunite with the cast of characters from A Discovery of Witches - with one significant exception.
