I love this 5th installment to the All Souls series! Secrets, mystery and magic surround us as we learn more of not just of the de Clairmonts and Bishops, but now the Proctors too! The black bird oracle as well as the Proctors and their ghosts, gives us uncanny insight into Diana’s and Matthew’s relationship and next steps between darkness, light and shadow. The three branches of family, past and present, will be caught in the goddess and Philippe’s plans. Readers are thrown into the history and lore of the Salem witch trials and the ripples felt today.
I love and adore Harkness’s blending of history and fiction so much. There were even a few moments I felt like I was watching Hermoine, with her extended family, and reading an alternate Harry Potter book if Voldemort had won. This was a long awaited installment for our libraries and I couldn’t be happier with it.
