Resumen del Editor
The number one New York Times best-selling series finale and sequel to A Discovery of Witches and Shadow of Night.
Look for the hit TV series A Discovery of Witches, streaming on AMC Plus, Sundance Now, and Shudder.
Bringing the magic and suspense of the All Souls Trilogy to a deeply satisfying conclusion, this highly anticipated finale went straight to number one on the New York Times best seller list. 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.

But our mixed-blood heritage short-circuits our talents at all the wrong times. My sister Delilah shapeshifts into a tabby cat whenever she's stressed. Menolly's a vampire who is still trying to get the hang of being undead. And me? I'm Camille - a wicked-good witch. Except my magic is as unpredictable as the weather, which my enemies are about to find out the hard way.

Blessed (or cursed, depending on who you ask) with human intelligence, Sir Edgar Allan Kipling, magical talking cat extraordinaire, spends most of his time keeping his human out of trouble. Of course, having a wizard for a human means that trouble is never far away. When Sir Kipling's human goes away for the weekend and leaves him to guard her magical library, things start out quiet. But he soon discovers witches smelling suspiciously of demon magic snooping about, and quiet goes out the window as chaos looms on the horizon.

Mad scientists have never had it so tough. In super-hero comics, graphic novels, films, TV series, video games, and even works of what may be fiction, they are besieged by those who stand against them, devoid of sympathy for their irrational, megalomaniacal impulses to rule, destroy, or otherwise dominate the world as we know it. It’s just not fair. So those of us who are so twisted and sick that we love mad scientists have created this guide.

Hot on the heels of Gardner Dozois's acclaimed anthology The Book of Swords comes this companion volume devoted to magic. How could it be otherwise? For every Frodo, there is a Gandalf... and a Saruman. For every Dorothy, a Glinda... and a Wicked Witch of the West. What would Harry Potter be without Albus Dumbledore... and Severus Snape? Figures of wisdom and power, possessing arcane, often forbidden knowledge, wizards and sorcerers are shaped - or misshaped - by the potent magic they seek to wield.

These assorted merchants, gardeners, barber-surgeons, midwives, instrument makers, mathematics teachers, engineers, alchemists, and other experimenters, she contends, formed a patchwork scientific community whose practices set the stage for the Scientific Revolution.

Miss Mildred Percy is a spinster. She does not dance, she has long stopped dreaming, and she certainly does not have adventures. That is, until her great uncle has the audacity to leave her an inheritance, one that includes a dragon’s egg. The egg—as eggs are wont to do—decides to hatch, and Miss Mildred Percy is suddenly thrust out of the role of “spinster and general wallflower” and into the unprecedented position of “spinster and keeper of dragons.” But England has not seen a dragon since…well, ever.

Historia
Miss Mildred Percy is a spinster. She does not dance, she has long stopped dreaming, and she certainly does not have adventures. That is, until her great uncle has the audacity to leave her an inheritance, one that includes a dragon’s egg. The egg—as eggs are wont to do—decides to hatch, and Miss Mildred Percy is suddenly thrust out of the role of “spinster and general wallflower” and into the unprecedented position of “spinster and keeper of dragons.” But England has not seen a dragon since…well, ever.

Barrie Anne Blythe and her aunt Charlotte have always known that the other residents of their small coastal community find them peculiar - two women living alone on the outskirts of town. It is the price of concealing their strange and dangerous family secret. But two events threaten to upend their lives forever.

Historia
Demonstrating once again her gift for spellbinding storytelling, Anne Rice makes real for us a great dynasty of four centuries of witches - a family given to poetry and incest, murder and philosophy, a family that over the ages is itself haunted by a powerful, dangerous, and seductive being called Lasher who haunts the Mayfair women. Moving in time from today's New Orleans and San Francisco to long-ago Amsterdam and the France of Louis XIV, from the coffee plantations of Port-au-Prince to Civil War New Orleans and back to today, Anne Rice has spun a mesmerizing tale.

Minalan gave up a promising career as a professional warmage to live the quiet life of a village spellmonger in the remote mountain valley of Boval. It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese. For six months things went well: He found a quaint little shop, he befriended the local lord, the village folk loved him, he found a sharp young apprentice to help out, and, best yet, he met a comely young widow with the prettiest eyes.

I want to read it again!
This series was so much fun that I wish I could go back and read it again, right now! I miss the characters and the wonderful voice of Jennifer Ikeda. This series is best read with the narration. The experience is over the top!
Anyone who knows me knows I am not into vampires. Okay, I watched Vampire Diary for a while but it was because of the witch more than anything else. So had this not started with A Discovery of Witches, and had my cousin not recommended it, I might not have gotten into this series. And the witches sure do kick b*** in this series, so I wasn't let down.
Even writing this is giving me a sense of remorse that it is over. Gosh, what a sentimental mush brain, huh? But how else can I tell you how good this series is?
I do have a complaint about the whispersync of this book. For some reason, it would skip over the bottom of each paragraph. But that didn't stop me. I just signed onto my Audible and played the story from there and read it on my tablet. Yeah, I had to turn pages, but I hardly noticed as the story moved me forward.
I noticed that there were the slightest threads left undone. Nothing drastic, but it had me hoping there would be more to this series. Oh, and the last couple chapters felt rather anticlimactic, but I wasn't complaining. It just gave me more time with the family. This was the perfect read for the Halloween season, but it would hold its own over any other set of days too.
Do read it! I think you'll enjoy it, too!

What happened to Jennifer Ikeda????
Any additional comments?
The narrator did a great job on the first two books, so what happened? It sounded like the speed was on the lowest setting at times. Either that or she was on Valium. Very frustrating.

Wish that it did not end
Wonderful story that has pet me wanting more and more. Hoping that it would not end. Hoping that Deborah Harkness will write more of the De Claremont clan. If so I can't wait.

Amazing conclusion to an amazing story!
I bought the first book on a special and was not to sure of it when I did. I am definitely glad I did and even used my credits on the next 2 books in the trilogy. Deborah must have lived this life in order to write such a great and detailed story. You feel a part of the story. The explanations of the different characters is amazing and believable. The reading is very good and the voices fit the characters even with a female reader reading male characters. Highly recommend this story! This is part 3 of a trilogy and you have to read all three to get the story. You won't believe how this ends. Worth every penny for hours of great listening.

Loved this trilogy
What did you love best about The Book of Life?
What a series with a fantastic ending. I hope that there are spinoffs for some of the secondary characters. I loved the historical aspects of this book and the characters were wonderful, both the good and the bad. I definitely recommend this Audible book!
What does Jennifer Ikeda bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Perfect reading, excellent characterization.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I loved when the twins were born.

Unlistenable
What disappointed you about The Book of Life?
I began listening yesterday, and was very excited, as I love Ms. Harkness, and thoroughly enjoyed reading the first two books in the trilogy. I decided to try listening to Book 3, as it would allow me to do other things (knit, clean). I had to stop listening after two chapters, as the narrator's voice was intolerable. It sounded digitized, as though they ran her voice through Auto Tune. This is my fault for not listening to the preview prior to purchase. I look forward to reading the book, and am certain that it will not disappoint. (I had to rate the title for "overall", "performance", and "story", and I am sure that the story is at least 4 or 5 stars, judging from my previous experience with Ms. Harkness's work. I gave it an overall 3 stars as an average of my extrapolated story rating and my actual performance rating.)
What do you think your next listen will be?
I am planning on previewing "The Time Traveler's Wife."
How could the performance have been better?
If the narrator's voice could be made to sound like a natural speaking voice, it would be a vast improvement.
Any additional comments?
I first thought that perhaps the effect may have been caused by the device on which I was listening, so I tried several other devices, and the problem was consistent.

The entire trilogy is fabulous! As a history ( primarily Celtic/British Isles) buff , a writer and a Pagan Witch ( I know, it's a mouthful), I was completely pulled in by Harkness' beautifully woven story. One does not have to have any of my afore mentioned, let us say, 'interests', to completely fall into the author's tapestry of romance, history and suspense. Harkness' stunning descriptions with such details that one so easily imagines themself 'there' so as to flow with the story, not wanting to let go. The real beauty for me, was how the truth of magic was so brightly threaded. Thank you Ms.Harkness for reawaking my magic.
