A Discovery of Witches

Deborah Harkness

DID NOT FINISH: 22%

I can’t spend any more of my time hating this book hoping the style of writing will change. The needless detail and constant shift of personality in characters in the first 100 pages seemed like the author was unsuccessfully trying to write banter. There is so much dialogue that amounts to absolutely nothing.
