Spoilers…. A great richly detailed read as I knew it would be. I loved the introduction of new characters and didn’t find them confusing as some readers have mentioned. However the surprise return of one person left me confused, Diana had stripped Satu of her witching abilities in the All Souls trilogy but here somehow without explanation or Diana questioning her reemergence left me a little stumped. Hopefully there’ll be an explanation in the next book, as this one ended abruptly. I was quite shocked that it suddenly stopped. Deborah Harkness is wonderfully skilled at setting an atmosphere, I look forward to the next instalment and hope we hear of it soon.
