More time with the De Claremonts - what's not to love?

I love the world Deborah Harkness created in the All Souls Trilogy, and the characters she populated it with are amazing. I've been hoping for a chance to see how life has treated the Bishop-De Claremont family and this return visit does not disappoint!

We learn what Marcus' life was like before he became a vampire as well as the first several years after he was reborn. Through Phoebe's part of the story we discover just what a newly reborn vampire must do to adapt to their new lives, and I truly love that there's so much more to it than typically has been in other vampire stories - it gives the transformation serious gravitas and makes it feel like the monumental event it should be. And, of course, we spend time with Diana, Matthew, Becca and Philip who make an utterly charming family.

This is a wonderful addition to the series. I can only hope we'll get to have more visits with the family (and soon, please ;) )
