In The Book of Life Diana and Matthew time-travel back from Elizabethan London to make a dramatic return to the present--facing new crises and old enemies. At Matthew's ancestral home, Sept-Tours, they reunite with the beloved cast of characters from A Discovery of Witches--with one significant exception. 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 third volume of the All Souls series, Harkness deepens her themes of power and passion, family and caring, past deeds and their present consequences. In palatial homes and university laboratories, using ancient knowledge and modern science, from the hills of the Auvergne to Venice and beyond, the couple at last learn what the witches discovered so many centuries ago.

A Disappointing Finale That Fell Flat

This was definitely my least favorite book in the trilogy. There were just too many slow, boring parts, and it drove me a little crazy how much effort went into describing completely unnecessary details while the big moments felt rushed or underwhelming. Like, why do we get ten lines about a woman’s outfit but only two about the birth of a child? The pacing and writing fell apart toward the end — everything suddenly felt rushed and chaotic, which was honestly really disappointing.

Book is stained

This was described as 'good condition' It has a drink stains on both edges of the pages and there was a photo left inside. It wasn't checked over very well. The first couple of pages are sticking together.

Amazing

By far my favorite book of the series. Very well written!!
