Worthy finale to the All Souls Trilogy. Kept the story moving so that you didn't want to put it down. The characters are complete, the dialog at times will make you laugh out loud. The story finishes strong with all the knots being tied.
Very happy with this series in a whole and looking forward to seeing the TV series now.

I loved this series from start to finish.. the history interwoven with the fantasy made this a fun romp through the ages!
A rich and generally satisfying conclusion to the "All Souls Trilogy".
Harkness has woven a rich and complex world here, which occasionally is in danger of collapsing under its own weight, and all three books should probably be read fairly close together. As with most trilogies, the center volume "Shadow of Night" is the weakest of the three.
The titular Book, which more or less set the whole thing in motion, carries an appropriately large portion of the action here, as Diana attempts to locate missing portions and restore them to the original volume, with a result which is totally unexpected (and, so far as I know, original in the annals of vampires, witches, and assorted supernatural critters).
