It is time for another edition of Book Beginnings! Join me and other bloggers over at Rose City Reader for this great literary link party which will go live tomorrow. Today I am bringing you the first couple of lines from Deborah Harkness’s follow-up to “A Discovery of Witches” called “Shadow of Night”.
"We arrived in an undignified heap of witch and vampire. Matthew was underneath me, his long limbs bent into an uncharacteristically awkward position. A large book was squashed between us, and the force of our landing sent the small silver figurine clutched in my hand sailing across the floor."
These words make you wonder just where they arrived and what the significance of the objects mentioned are. You will just have to read the book to find out. This is the second book in the All Souls trilogy and I can’t wait for the finale!
My book club read A Discovery of Witches last year and enjoyed it. I still haven’t started Shadow of Night but am curious to see what happens to the characters. Have a great weekend!
Happy Reading,
