Anyone read the All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness. Not usually my genre but hear good things. Any thoughts?

I am on book 2. The first one was a little like twilight for grown ups, but now I have to finish the series to see what happens.
Loved loved loved. I read the trilogy and then Time’s Convert.
Loved it!
Loved this and definitely not my typical genre either. I have read the trilogy more than once.
I really liked the 1st and 3rd books. The second one not so much. The stand alone book (Times Convert) is also good
The books are a bit slow-moving but manage to reel you in!
I devoured the trilogy. So good. Then did the same with Time’s Convert when it came out. Oh, then I binged the 1st season of the show, lol.
@Eden yep. Can’t wait for the new book!
@Jodi any idea when it will be out?
@Eden I looked it up but I don’t recall now. I want to say later this year?
@Eden there’s a show?
@Nancy yes! Right now it’s on Sundance Now, but it will be available on AMC and BBC America soon. I did a free trial of Sundance Now, a week, and binged it. It’s only like $6 for the month though. I added the channel to my Amazon prime account.
thanks. I’ll have to look into it
@Darrin I didn’t know there WAS one!
I have! It’s good.
Totally not my genre either but so far I loved the first and am really looking forward to the next two
They are VERY good!!
I enjoyed the first book, but I wasn’t staying up late because I couldn’t put it down. Haven’t yet moved on to the others.
@Juliet this is me exactly. Maybe next Halloween when people start talking again.
Not usually my genre either, but I loved it. There’s a movie series out too.
@Cindy I’ve seen the series (got a free trial to Sundance Now on a relatively free week to be able to finish). And I liked it a lot.
I loved it!
DoW started slow for me. I got halfway through before it hooked me, and then I raced through the series.
Taking a break before reading Time’s Convert.
I was really excited for it and barely made it through the first book. It was a slog, felt like grown-up Twilight (and not in a good way), didn’t really hold my attention until about 70% of the way in, and by the time I finished the first book I decided it was just okay. I decided not to continue the series because the first book simply didn’t hook me enough.
That is exactly what I thought.
@Amanda Glad I’m not alone! People really seem to love it and it was just “meh” for me.
ive never seen or read twilight. Any of them so that’s why I’m skeptical about reading. But I guess I can try ??♀️
@Nancy Give it a whirl! I will warn you though that A Discovery of Witches is pretty slow at first though.
Loved it!!!
It’s very good
I loved it but none of the books are going to be quick reads and they are all packed full of information. It can be a lot to take in. I don’t like Diana (the heroine) but love most all the other characters
Loved it. It was like Twilight for adults. Also, it was written well with real historical significance.
Loved the first book and then lost all interest after the first three chapters of the second.
I loved them
I’m on book 2 “Shadow of Night” now. I’m enjoying the books but her books are slow read for me for some reason. Maybe it’s because the author is very descriptive which some have commented they did not like but I do, it makes the experience more immersive to me.
They are intended as slow reads which was part of what I enjoyed about them 🙂
Loved it!!
It’s my favorite! It gets a bit heady but worth it.
Yes, and I loved it!!!!
Very much enjoyed it!!!!
I read them and loved them!
I loved those books. I listened to them on audio and it was fantastic!
Not usually my genre either – but I liked these books alot. Wish there were more.
Love them. Some of my absolute favorites.
Absolutely adored them!
Loved book one
Just finished! Each book was as good as the last!!
Love love love
Loved the 1st one. Second one was okay. Took me FOREVER (months) to get through the third.
Love these books and the author is a historian.
Listened multiple times!
Loved them all! Read them more than once, too.
I loved them.
I just finished the trilogy today – I thought the first book and a half were a little slow, then it picked up and I had a hard time putting down the third!
Love love love them!!
LOVE!!
I am a big fan of this series!
LOVED it, fantastic series
@Darrin me too! I can barely keep track haha. I may have possibly left the group ?
FAVORITE! Almost finished with Times Convert which another story from that world and it’s also awesome!!!
I ended up loving them, but the second book IS SLOW AF at first
@Amy It sure was! Time’s Convert seemed even slower to me and I didn’t get into it as much as the original 3.
@Carolyn I really wanted to like Time’s Convert, but I didn’t make it past the first 5 chapters
@Amy you didn’t miss much. It was predictable.
@Carolyn that makes me feel a little better about putting it down
Loved them ?
I read them at least one a year. I love them
Loved all of them.
Loved them
@Sheri ???
Big fan. Just finished the next book (not in the trilogy) and watched the Sundance series based on the first book. I had forgotten how much I liked it until then.
Really enjoyed them.
Yes. Really liked them. Not my genre either.
Thanks. Picked up first book so I’ll give it a try. I like the mixed reviews so I’m intrigued now
I loved it! They are lengthy but I got I to them. Some parts are slow. Last book was my least favorite.
They are amazing!!! And they have done a pretty good job adapting the 1st book for the TV series.
I became so invested with the characters. I thought about the books when I wasn’t reading them and couldn’t wait to get back to them!!
LOVED THEM! It’s not usually my genre either, but they hooked me right away.
Loved it!!, and my husband listened to the audio book version and loved them too (and it’s def not his genre)
Love them. There is a tie-in fourth now.
I loved it plus there is a fourth one and more to come, I hope!! Not my usual genre either!!
Yes!!!!!!! Read them!!!
Yes. I liked them. Planning to watch it soon
Great series ❤️
I’m on book two now and really enjoying it. Love the history ….
Loved the 1st and 3rd books. Struggled through the 2nd.
